CVE-2011-2160

Publication date 20 May 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The VC-1 decoding functionality in FFmpeg before 0.5.4, as used in MPlayer and other products, does not properly restrict read operations, which allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a crafted VC-1 file, a related issue to CVE-2011-0723.
