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

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 464260

Description

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

 - FFmpeg through 8.1.2, fixed in commit 5d7112c, contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability
 in the IAMF demuxer that allows an unauthenticated attacker to cause multi-gigabyte memory allocation from
 a 17-byte input file by supplying a crafted count_label field. The mix_presentation_obu() function in
 libavformat/iamf_parse.c calls av_calloc(count_label, sizeof(*language_label)) with an attacker-controlled
 value before validating available OBU data, enabling an allocation amplification of approximately 126
 million bytes per input byte that exhausts process memory or triggers an OOM-kill during format probing.
 (CVE-2026-66037)

Solution

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