Published Sep 22, 2025 · Updated Sep 22, 2025

Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2023 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2024-5197: There exists interger overflows in libvpx in versions prior to 1.14.1. Calling vpx_img_alloc() with a large value of the d_w, d_h, or align parameter may result in integer overflows in the calculations of buffer sizes and offsets and some fields of the returned vpx_image_t struct may be invalid. Calling vpx_img_wrap() with a large value of the d_w, d_h, or stride_align parameter may result in integer overflows in the calculations of buffer sizes and offsets and some fields of the returned vpx_image_t struct may be invalid. We recommend upgrading to version 1.14.1 or beyond CVE-2023-6349: A heap overflow vulnerability exists in libvpx - Encoding a frame that has larger dimensions than the originally configured size with VP9 may result in a heap overflow in libvpx. We recommend upgrading to version 1.13.1 or above
