There is no fixed version for ffmpeg.

Overview

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