A null pointer dereference issue was discovered in 'FFmpeg' in decode_main_header() function of libavformat/nutdec.c file. The flaw occurs because the function lacks check of the return value of avformat_new_stream() and triggers the null pointer dereference error, causing an application to crash.

The version of ffmpeg installed on the remote host is prior to 4.4.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2024-235-01 advisory.

    New ffmpeg packages are available for Slackware 15.0 to fix security issues.

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

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

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3454 advisory.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the FFmpeg multimedia     framework, which could result in denial of service or potentially the     execution of arbitrary code if malformed files/streams are processed.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     7:4.1.11-0+deb10u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your ffmpeg packages.
