Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 10.10 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

FFmpeg could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description: - ffmpeg: multimedia player, server and encoder

Details:

Steve Manzuik discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled certain malformed Matroska files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted Matroska file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2011-3504)

Phillip Langlois discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled certain malformed QDM2 streams. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted QDM2 stream file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2011-4351)

Phillip Langlois discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled certain malformed VP3 streams. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.10. (CVE-2011-4352)

Phillip Langlois discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled certain malformed VP5 and VP6 streams. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2011-4353)

It was discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled certain malformed VMD files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted VMD file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2011-4364)

Phillip Langlois discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled certain malformed SVQ1 streams. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted SVQ1 stream file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2011-4579)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 10.10:
libavcodec52 4:0.6-2ubuntu6.3
libavformat52 4:0.6-2ubuntu6.3

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libavcodec52 4:0.5.1-1ubuntu1.3
libavformat52 4:0.5.1-1ubuntu1.3

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
