How to fix?

There is no fixed version for ffmpeg.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the mix_presentation_obu() function of libavformat/iamf_parse.c, which calls av_calloc(count_label, sizeof(*language_label)) with the attacker-controlled count_label before validating the available OBU data. An attacker can exhaust process memory or trigger an OOM-kill by supplying a 17-byte IAMF input file that sets a large count_label, driving a multi-gigabyte allocation of roughly 126 million bytes per input byte. Exploitation occurs during format probing of an IAMF input, so it requires FFmpeg to probe or demux the attacker-supplied file.
