How to fix?

There is no fixed version for FFmpeg.

Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. FFmpeg is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS) attacks. A malicious user can pass a MXF file without an End of File (EoF) terminator to the application to cause a big loop that would consume large amounts of CPU resources.
