The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input within the track_header() function in libavformat/vividas.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
2) Unchecked Return Value (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-38114)

3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-0868)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
libavcodec/huffyuvdec.c in FFmpeg before 1.1.2 allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via crafted Huffyuv data, related to an out-of-bounds write and (1) unchecked return codes from the init_vlc function and (2) "len==0 cases."
