Background ========== FFmpeg is a very fast video and audio converter. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-video/ffmpeg < 0.4.9_p20060530 >= 0.4.9_p20060530 Description =========== FFmpeg contains buffer overflows in the AVI processing code. Impact ====== An attacker could trigger the buffer overflows by enticing a user to load a specially crafted AVI file in an application using the FFmpeg library. This might result in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the running application. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All FFmpeg users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20060530" Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200609-09.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us. Any security concerns should be addressed to security () gentoo org or alternatively, you may file a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org.
