Updated avidemux packages fix security vulnerabilities

Updated avidemux packages fix security vulnerabilities:

The mjpeg_decode_app function in libavcodec/mjpegdec.c in FFMpeg before 1.2.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap access) and possibly have other unspecified impact via vectors related to LJIF tags in an MJPEG file (CVE-2014-9316).

The decode_ihdr_chunk function in libavcodec/pngdec.c in FFMpeg before 1.2.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap access) and possibly have other unspecified impact via an IDAT before an IHDR in a PNG file (CVE-2014-9317).

The vmd_decode function in libavcodec/vmdvideo.c in FFmpeg before 1.2.11 does not validate the relationship between a certain length value and the frame width, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Sierra VMD video data (CVE-2014-9603).

libavcodec/utvideodec.c in FFmpeg before 1.2.11 does not check for a zero value of a slice height, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Ut Video data, related to the restore_median and restore_median_il functions (CVE-2014-9604).

An attacker can force a read at an invalid address in mjpegdec.c of FFmpeg, in order to trigger a denial of service (CVE-2015-1872).

Use-after-free vulnerability in the ff_h264_free_tables function in libavcodec/h264.c in FFmpeg before 1.2.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted H.264 data in an MP4 file, as demonstrated by an HTML VIDEO element that references H.264 data (CVE-2015-3417).

Avidemux is built with a bundled set of FFmpeg libraries. The bundled FFmpeg version has been updated from 1.2.10 to 1.2.12 to fix these security issues and other bugs fixed upstream in FFmpeg.

Updated ffmpeg package fixes security vulnerability

The mjpeg_decode_app function in libavcodec/mjpegdec.c in FFMpeg before 2.0.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap access) and possibly have other unspecified impact via vectors related to LJIF tags in an MJPEG file (CVE-2014-9316).

The decode_ihdr_chunk function in libavcodec/pngdec.c in FFMpeg before 2.0.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap access) and possibly have other unspecified impact via an IDAT before an IHDR in a PNG file (CVE-2014-9317).

The raw_decode function in libavcodec/rawdec.c in FFMpeg before 2.0.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap access) and possibly have other unspecified impact via a crafted .cine file that triggers the avpicture_get_size function to return a negative frame size (CVE-2014-9318).

The vmd_decode function in libavcodec/vmdvideo.c in FFmpeg before 2.0.7 does not validate the relationship between a certain length value and the frame width, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Sierra VMD video data (CVE-2014-9603).

libavcodec/utvideodec.c in FFmpeg before 2.0.7 does not check for a zero value of a slice height, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Ut Video data, related to the restore_median and restore_median_il functions (CVE-2014-9604).

An attacker can force a read at an invalid address in mjpegdec.c of FFmpeg, in order to trigger a denial of service (CVE-2015-1872).

The msrle_decode_pal4 function in libavcodec/msrledec.c in FFmpeg before 2.0.7 has an out-of-bounds array access that may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted BMP file (CVE-2015-3395).

Use-after-free vulnerability in the ff_h264_free_tables function in libavcodec/h264.c in FFmpeg before 2.0.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted H.264 data in an MP4 file, as demonstrated by an HTML VIDEO element that references H.264 data (CVE-2015-3417).
