USN-6449-1 fixed vulnerabilities in FFmpeg. Unfortunately that update
could introduce a regression in tools using an FFmpeg library, like VLC.
This updated fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly managed memory resulting
in a memory leak. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
