medium Nessus Plugin ID 87980

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

Arch Linux reports :

ffmpeg has a vulnerability in the current version that allows the attacker to create a specially crafted video file, downloading which will send files from a user PC to a remote attacker server. The attack does not even require the user to open that file -- for example, KDE Dolphin thumbnail generation is enough.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
