CVE-2024-32230: FFmpeg 7.0 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow.
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.35% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: ffmpeg (Debian:11) 7:4.3.7-0+deb11u1; ffmpeg (Debian:12) 7:5.1.5-0+deb12u1; ffmpeg (Debian:13) 7:7.0.1-3.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Low priority for now. Upgrade to ffmpeg (Debian:11) 7:4.3.7-0+deb11u1; ffmpeg (Debian:12) 7:5.1.5-0+deb12u1; ffmpeg (Debian:13) 7:7.0.1-3 or later.
