 Package : ffmpeg CVE ID : CVE-2023-49502 CVE-2023-50007 CVE-2023-50008 CVE-2024-31582 CVE-2024-35367 CVE-2024-35368 CVE-2025-0518 CVE-2025-7700 CVE-2025-22919

 Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the FFmpeg multimedia framework, which could result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if malformed files/streams are processed.

 For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 7:5.1.7-0+deb12u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your ffmpeg packages.

 For the detailed security status of ffmpeg please refer to its security tracker page at:
