Releases

• Ubuntu 19.04
• Ubuntu 18.10
• Ubuntu 18.04 ESM

Packages

• ffmpeg - Tools for transcoding, streaming and playing of multimedia files

Details

It was discovered that FFmpeg contained multiple security issues when handling
certain multimedia files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted
multimedia file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application
crash.
