Stack-based buffer overflow in the str_read_packet function in libavformat/psxstr.c in FFmpeg before r13993 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted STR file that interleaves audio and video sectors.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
