    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------     Debian Security Advisory DSA-5870-1                   security@debian.org     https://www.debian.org/security/                     Salvatore Bonaccorso     February 26, 2025                     https://www.debian.org/security/faq

    Package        : openh264     CVE ID         : CVE-2025-27091     Debian Bug     : 1098470

    A heap-based buffer overflow flaw in the decoding functions of openh264,     a codec library which supports H.264 encoding and decoding, may allow a     remote attacker to cause a denial of service or the execution of     arbitrary code if a specially crafted video is processed.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in     version 2.3.1+dfsg-3+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your openh264 packages.

    For the detailed security status of openh264 please refer to its     security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/openh264
