CVE-2014-8547 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in FFmpeg versions prior to 2.4.2, specifically affecting the libavcodec/gifdec.c component. It arises from improper image height computation when processing crafted GIF data, impacting products like Canonical Ubuntu Linux and FFmpeg itself. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this vulnerability is considered highly severe, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to cause out-of-bounds access and potentially other unspecified impacts with low attack complexity. While no active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion has been observed, its potential for denial of service warrants attention.
