Am I affected?

With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.

Description

FFmpeg before 8.1.3 and 9.x before 9.0.2 contains a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the APAC decoder in libavcodec/apac.c caused by an unreset bitstream index. Attackers can supply a crafted APAC file whose growing bitstream_index triggers an integer overflow, bypassing the reallocation check so memcpy() corrupts heap memory or crashes the application.
