The ff_combine_frame function in libavcodec/parser.c in FFmpeg before 2.1 does not properly handle certain memory-allocation errors, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted data.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-7023 affects FFmpeg before 2.1. A malformed media file or stream can trigger improper handling of memory-allocation errors, causing a crash or potentially another unspecified impact. The main confirmed business concern is denial of service in services that process untrusted media. Exposure is most likely where FFmpeg or bundled libavcodec versions before 2.1 parse user-supplied media, uploaded files, transcoding jobs, streams, or email/web attachments. Products may be affected indirectly through embedded FFmpeg copies. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or customer-upload media workflows. Internal-only systems with trusted media are lower urgency, but legacy FFmpeg should still be removed because this class of parser bug can disrupt processing services. Mitigation focus: Upgrade FFmpeg to version 2.1 or later, or a vendor-patched package.; Confirm distribution packages include the referenced FFmpeg fix commit.; Check vendor and operating-system advisories for backported fixes..
