    Published: 5 Nov 2014Last Modified: 16 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: libavcodec/pngdec.c in FFmpeg before 2.4.2 accepts the monochrome-black format without verifying that the bits-per-pixel value is 1, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted PNG data.
