FFmpeg before commit 2b46ebdbff1d8dec7a3d8ea280a612b91a582869 contains a Buffer Overflow vulnerability in asf_o format demuxer that can result in heap-buffer-overflow that may result in remote code execution.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.19%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
