Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in FFmpeg. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
gst-plugins-libav is affected because this package is bundling a vulnerable FFmpeg version.
A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system using FFmpeg to process a specially crafted file, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.
