Echo: ffmpeg: security update to 7:7.1.5-0+deb13u1+e3

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 457223

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - FFmpeg through 8.1.2, fixed in commit 8670835, contains an information disclosure vulnerability in the
 LCL/ZLIB video decoder that allows attackers to expose uninitialized heap memory by supplying a valid zlib
 stream that inflates to fewer bytes than the expected frame size. The zlib_decomp() function in lcldec.c
 treats short decompression as non-fatal and continues to the RGB24 conversion path, which copies a full
 frame's worth of rows from the allocation buffer using original frame dimensions, causing uninitialized
 heap contents including pointer-derived allocator bytes to be copied into the attacker-observable AVFrame
 output and potentially defeating ASLR in long-lived media processing services. (CVE-2026-66038)

Solution

Update the ffmpeg library and its related packages to version 7:7.1.5-0+deb13u1+e3 or later.
