Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2025-10-21 16:48:22 UTC

Proposed as a Blocker for 43-final by Fedora user pbrobinson using the blocker tracking app because:

 mbedtls 3.6.5 is a security release. It has a number of CVEs, there's one rated HIGH [1] (Red Hat doesn't rate ones not shipped in RHEL).

It affects the following packages in Worksttion:
 ffmpeg-free

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2025-10-21 18:14:49 UTC

This is the EPEL bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2405239 would make a better blocker candidate.
