A vulnerability was found in FFmpeg 2.0. It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is the function decode_frame of the file libavcodec/ansi.c. The manipulation leads to integer coercion error. The attack can be launched remotely. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.
Integer coercion refers to a set of flaws pertaining to the type casting, extension, or truncation of primitive data types.
When converting from one data type to another, such as long to integer, data can be omitted or translated in a way that produces unexpected values. If the resulting values are used in a sensitive context, then dangerous behaviors may occur.
