CVE-2021-3566
Last modified
CVE-2021-3566 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Prior to ffmpeg version 4.3, the tty demuxer did not have a 'read_probe' function assigned to it. By crafting a legitimate "ffconcat" file that references an image, followed by a file the triggers the tty demuxer, the contents of the second file will be copied into the output file verbatim (as long as the `-vcodec copy` option is passed to ffmpeg).. EPSS estimates a 0.88% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
