How to fix?

There is no fixed version for ffmpeg.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read. The gmc_mmx function in libavcodec/x86/mpegvideodsp.c in FFmpeg 2.3 and 3.4 does not properly validate widths and heights, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer signedness error and out-of-array read) via a crafted MPEG file.
