Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow. These attacks are possible because ff_mjpeg_decode_sof in mjpegdec.c only considers dimensional differences, not bits-per-pixel differences when comparing image sizes. This allows attackers to cause an out-of-bounds access error through MJPEG data.
