This update to ffmpeg disables support for over 100 codecs, decoders, and formats that are rarely used nowadays, for which the support available in squeeze is most likely insufficient, etc.
This update is only meant to reduce the attack surface.
ffmpeg is otherwise unsupported in squeeze-lts, and any use of it with untrusted data is highly discouraged.
For Debian 6
Squeeze
, these issues have been fixed in ffmpeg version 4:0.5.10-1+deb6u1
