There are 9 open security issues in bookworm.

9 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:
  • CVE-2023-6601: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) A flaw was found in FFmpeg's HLS demuxer. This vulnerability allows bypassing unsafe file extension checks and triggering arbitrary demuxers via base64-encoded data URIs appended with specific file extensions.
  • CVE-2026-6385: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) A flaw was found in FFmpeg. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted MPEG-PS/VOB media file containing a malicious DVD subtitle stream. This vulnerability is caused by a signed integer overflow in the DVD subtitle parser's fragment reassembly bounds checks, leading to a heap out-of-bounds write. Successful exploitation can result in a denial of service (DoS) due to an application crash, and potentially lead to arbitrary code execution.
  • CVE-2023-49528: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) Buffer Overflow vulnerability in FFmpeg version n6.1-3-g466799d4f5, allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code and cause a denial of service (DoS) via the af_dialoguenhance.c:261:5 in the de_stereo component.
  • CVE-2024-31578: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) FFmpeg version n6.1.1 was discovered to contain a heap use-after-free via the av_hwframe_ctx_init function.
  • CVE-2024-35369: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) In FFmpeg version n6.1.1, specifically within the avcodec/speexdec.c module, a potential security vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of certain parameters when parsing Speex codec extradata. This vulnerability could lead to integer overflow conditions, potentially resulting in undefined behavior or crashes during the decoding process.
  • CVE-2024-36615: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) FFmpeg n7.0 has a race condition vulnerability in the VP9 decoder. This could lead to a data race if video encoding parameters were being exported, as the side data would be attached in the decoder thread while being read in the output thread.
  • CVE-2025-10256: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in FFmpeg’s Firequalizer filter (libavfilter/af_firequalizer.c) due to a missing check on the return value of av_malloc_array() in the config_input() function. An attacker could exploit this by tricking a victim into processing a crafted media file with the Firequalizer filter enabled, causing the application to dereference a NULL pointer and crash, leading to denial of service.
  • CVE-2025-22921: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) FFmpeg git-master,N-113007-g8d24a28d06 was discovered to contain a segmentation violation via the component /libavcodec/jpeg2000dec.c.
  • CVE-2026-30997: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) An out-of-bounds read in the read_global_param() function (libavcodec/av1dec.c) of FFmpeg v8.0.1 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted input.
