description

Affected Active Storage releases can pass temporary upload files with attacker-controlled extensions to FFmpeg or ImageMagick. Applications that accept untrusted uploads and analyze media, generate video previews, or process images may cause unintended decoders to handle those files; AviSynth-enabled FFmpeg environments may expose application-readable data or permit code execution in the FFmpeg process.

mitigation

Upgrade activestorage to 8.0.5.2 or 8.1.4.1, as appropriate for the supported release line. Until upgrading, disable the Active Storage video previewer and video and audio analyzers to reduce FFmpeg exposure; also avoid FFmpeg builds with AviSynth support.

fixed in 8.1.4.1, 8.0.5.2
