There is no fixed version for FFmpeg.

Overview

FFmpeg is a FFmpeg static library ruby binding that is compiled for iOS and CocoaPods.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. FFmpeg is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS) attacks. These attacks are possible because FFmpeg does not check the maximum number of times an insufficient list can be reloaded in read_data() function of libavformat/hls.c, leading to infinite loops.
