Hi all

Today ffmpeg-security was asked why 5 security fixes are missing in 6.1
and from our security page.

These issues where posted publically on trac, and fixed by FFmpeg developers.
Then someone seems to have registered CVE #s but not mailed ffmpeg-security

I suggest
1. if you fix a security issue or apply a security fix, make sure it is
backported to all supported releases
2. if you see a CVE # thats not on the security page, mail ffmpeg-security
3. If you see issues on trac that seem important, please make sure they
are fixed and backported, having someone like carl who knew and maintained
all issues would be quite usefull

4. Someone should cross check
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=ffmpeg and our security page
and backported fixes and backport missing fixes and fix unfixed issues.

Why are there memory leaks with a CVE?

a memory leak can be a denial of service



Also, CVE-2025-1373 is wrong, it doesn't apply to any release, only git
master.

please add a entry to our security page stating that

How? It doesn't apply to any release. It's CVE who should fix their
description.

you can add "never affected a release" (theres already a similar one)

I see what you mean, like in 4.4. In that case i think the proper way to do this is to add it to the 8.0 entry once that's done.




Also, i consider it a bit premature to make a CVE for an issue that's only
present in git master and was fixed immediately after it was reported to us.
It wasn't realistically deployed anywhere and only pads the list.

The world is unlikely to delete a CVE# completely, but you can try.
Some pages will refer to the issue and if its not on our page people
will be confused

If teh page clearly says CVE-2025-1373 doesnt affect any ffmpeg release
thats clear and thats the clarity the page is supposed to provide.

thx
