A Denial of Service vulnerability exists in FFmpeg 4.2 due to a memory leak in avcodec_alloc_context3 at options.c.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-936100 advisory.

    A Denial of Service vulnerability exists in FFmpeg 4.2 due to a memory leak in avcodec_alloc_context3 at     options.c.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - adts_decode_extradata in libavformat/adtsenc.c in FFmpeg 4.4 does not check the init_get_bits return
    value, which is a necessary step because the second argument to init_get_bits can be crafted.
