Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write. A malicious user can use this to cause a system crash or to overwrite variables currently in the buffer. This can be done through the decode_frame function in libavcodec/pictordec.c.
