FFmpeg version n6.1.1 was discovered to contain a heap use-after-free via the av_hwframe_ctx_init function.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in FFmpeg up to 7.1. This affects the
    function ff_aac_search_for_tns of the file libavcodec/aacenc_tns.c of the component AAC Encoder. The
    manipulation leads to stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The
    exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. (CVE-2025-1594)

  - A flaw was found in FFmpeg's TTY Demuxer. This vulnerability allows possible data exfiltration via
    improper parsing of non-TTY-compliant input files in HLS playlists. (CVE-2023-6602)

  - A flaw was found in FFmpeg. This vulnerability allows unexpected additional CPU load and storage
    consumption, potentially leading to degraded performance or denial of service via the demuxing of
    arbitrary data as XBIN-formatted data without proper format validation. (CVE-2023-6604)

  - A flaw was found in FFmpeg's DASH playlist support. This vulnerability allows arbitrary HTTP GET requests
    to be made on behalf of the machine running FFmpeg via a crafted DASH playlist containing malicious URLs.
    (CVE-2023-6605)

  - Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Ffmpeg v.n6.1-3-g466799d4f5 allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary
    code via the config_eq_output function in the libavfilter/asrc_afirsrc.c:495:30 component.
    (CVE-2023-49501)
