How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 ffmpeg to version 7:3.2.4-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ffmpeg package and not the ffmpeg package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The che_configure function in libavcodec/aacdec_template.c in FFmpeg before 3.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (allocation of huge memory, and being killed by the OS) via a crafted MOV file.
