  - A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in libav up to 12.3. This affects the
    function ff_seek_frame_binary of the file /libavformat/utils.c of the component MPEG File Parser. The
    manipulation leads to null pointer dereference. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The
    exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The bug was initially reported by the researcher
    to the wrong project. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the
    maintainer. (CVE-2025-8586)
