Details
Simcha Kosman discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain
return values. An attacker could possibly use this issue to leak
sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS,
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
and Ubuntu 24.10. (CVE-2025-0518)
It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain memory
operations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a
denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 24.10. (CVE-2025-1816)
It was discovered that FFmpeg contained a reachable assertion, which
could lead to a failure when processing certain AAC files. If a user or
automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted AAC file,
an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
