Overview

FFmpeg is a FFmpeg static library ruby binding that is compiled for iOS and CocoaPods.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow in the libavformat/rtpenc_vc2hq.c file. An attacker can achieve memory corruption and potentially execute arbitrary code by supplying a specially crafted Dirac data unit that causes the packetizer to copy input-derived data into a fixed-size buffer without proper bounds checking.
