ffmpeg vulnerability solved updating to v8.1.2

Jfrog discovered vulnerability in Ffmpeg.

CVS-2026-8461

Detection

To detect if your system includes the vulnerable MagicYUV decoder, run:

ffmpeg -decoders 2>/dev/null | grep magicyuv

If the output includes VFS..D magicyuv, your FFmpeg build is vulnerable. The MagicYUV decoder is enabled by default in every upstream FFmpeg build and every distribution package we tested (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, Alpine) before version 9.0.

Workarounds

If upgrading FFmpeg is not immediately possible:

Option 1 – Rebuild FFmpeg with the vulnerable decoder disabled:

./configure --disable-decoder=magicyuv [your other flags]<
make && make install
