CVE-2012-0855

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FFmpeg versions prior to 0.9.1

Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the get sot function within the J2K decoder (j2k.c) in libavcodec. This can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically an application crash, through unspecified vectors related to the curtileno variable.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.9.1, update to version 0.9.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the J2K decoder to minimize the risk of exploitation.
