The dpcm_decode_frame function in libavcodec/dpcm.c in FFmpeg before 0.9.1
does not use the proper pointer after an audio API change, which allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via
unspecified vectors, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Notes

Author Note
jdstrand from upstream, “Wrong pointer being used to write after recent audio API change.”
mdeslaur doesn’t look like it affects libav 0.7 and older, and ffmpeg 0.5
