description
FFmpeg build N-119856-gbe46370941 is reported to crash when handling specially formed media content. An attacker may cause a denial of service if they can make an affected FFmpeg process handle a crafted media file.
mitigation
Restrict processing of untrusted media and run FFmpeg workloads with isolation and restart supervision. Monitor upstream FFmpeg updates and upgrade when a release addressing this issue is identified.
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
source signals
