How to fix?

There is no fixed version for ffmpeg.

Overview

ffmpeg is a FFmpeg wrapper

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference via the input constructor function when the avio_alloc_context call fails and returns a NULL pointer, which is subsequently stored and dereferenced by the Io struct's Drop implementation. An attacker can cause the application to crash by triggering a failure in the allocation process, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
