CVSS 3.0
8.8 highCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2017-14169
High (8.8). EPSS 2.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the mxf_read_primer_pack function in libavformat/mxfdec.c in FFmpeg 3.3.3 -> 2.4, an integer signedness error might occur when a crafted file, which claims a large "item_num" field such as 0xffffffff, is provided. As a result, the variable "item_num" turns negative, bypassing the check for a large value.
