Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-12-09 06:39:03 UTC 
An issue was discovered in FFmpeg through version 7.1, where the ff_mpv_encode_picture() function in libavcodec/mpegvideo_enc.c does not check the return value of av_packet_new_side_data(), leading to a null pointer dereference.
Comment 2 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2025-03-07 01:41:46 UTC 
Looks like the CVE ID is not published, only reserved and there's very limited information about the vulnerability.

https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-12361 returns 404.

Can you provide more details or a link to upstream trac ticket?
Comment 3 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2025-03-07 01:47:41 UTC 
It also looks like this was fixed in 4065ff69a2ed49872f8694a03d0642b18c9d977c , which is included in 7.1, so I think the description is wrong.

7.0.2 and 6.1.2 remain vulnerable. I haven't checked older branches.
