Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2014-2097 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The tak_decode_frame function in libavcodec/takdec.c in FFmpeg before 2.1.4 does not properly validate a certain bits-per-sample value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted TAK (aka Tom's lossless Audio Kompressor) data.. EPSS estimates a 1.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
