Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference via a maliciously crafted HLS playlist that is triggered during initialization. This is due to missing checks of the return value of new_init_section() when members cur_init_section are accessed.
