An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2011-2161 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ffmpeg Ffmpeg. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-2161/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-2161/index.md)","id":"CVE-2011-2161","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-2161/index.md","name":"CVE-2011-2161","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2011-2161","GHSA-6cpv-jrx7-frg6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Multimedia processing library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can crash applications using FFmpeg by providing a malformed APE audio file, requiring user interaction to open the file.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ffmpeg","vendor":"ffmpeg"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"The ape_read_header function in ape.c in libavformat in FFmpeg before 0.5.4, as used in MPlayer, VideoLAN VLC media player, and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an APE (aka Monkey's Audio) file that contains a header but no frames.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-2161","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ffmpeg:ffmpeg","products":["ffmpeg:ffmpeg"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2011"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-2162"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-2160"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2011-05-20","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-0864","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-11-23"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-0872","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-11-23"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-0873","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-11-23"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-4265","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-11-23"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3937","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-01-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2772","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-09-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2775","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-09-10"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can crash applications using FFmpeg by providing a malformed APE audio file, requiring user interaction to open the file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-2161/"}
