If your question is, if theres a sequence of characters that gets interpreted as an extension thats then not in the file that is being opened on one platform Thats an interresting question, do you know of such a case ? > > As an aside, why is this CVE from 2023 being fixed now? Because it was reported now more precissely, IIRC alexander strasser reported it after seeing it on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2334338 I then tried to contact Harvey Phillips of Amazon Element55 and once i got in contact with him looked into fixing the issues ffmpeg was still vulnerable to. Yes, some CVEs out there are not reported to ffmpeg-security at the time they should have been. thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong. -- Voltaire
