Last modified
CVE-2015-8218 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The decode_uncompressed function in libavcodec/faxcompr.c in FFmpeg before 2.8.2 does not validate uncompressed runs, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted CCITT FAX data.. EPSS estimates a 1.77% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
