There is no fixed version for ffmpeg.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read. In FFmpeg 3.2 and 4.1, a denial of service in the subtitle decoder allows attackers to hog the CPU via a crafted video file in Matroska format, because ff_htmlmarkup_to_ass in libavcodec/htmlsubtitles.c has a complex format argument to sscanf.
