  The ff_mjpeg_decode_sof function in libavcodec/mjpegdec.c in Libav before 0.8.18 does not validate the number of components in a JPEG-LS Start Of Frame segment, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Motion JPEG data.
