The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0511 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2024-7055:
    A vulnerability was found in FFmpeg up to 7.0.1. It has been classified as critical. This affects the     function pnm_decode_frame in the library /libavcodec/pnmdec.c. The manipulation leads to heap-based buffer     overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and     may be used. Upgrading to version 7.0.2 is able to address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the     affected component. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-273651.

    CVE-2024-36617:
    FFmpeg n6.1.1 has an integer overflow vulnerability in the FFmpeg CAF decoder.

    CVE-2024-36616:
    An integer overflow in the component /libavformat/westwood_vqa.c of FFmpeg n6.1.1 allows attackers to     cause a denial of service in the application via a crafted VQA file.

    CVE-2024-36618:
    FFmpeg n6.1.1 has a vulnerability in the AVI demuxer of the libavformat library which allows for an     integer overflow, potentially resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.

    CVE-2024-35368:
    FFmpeg n7.0 is affected by a Double Free via the rkmpp_retrieve_frame function within     libavcodec/rkmppdec.c.

    CVE-2024-36615:
    FFmpeg n7.0 has a race condition vulnerability in the VP9 decoder. This could lead to a data race if video     encoding parameters were being exported, as the side data would be attached in the decoder thread while     being read in the output thread.

    CVE-2024-36619:
    FFmpeg n6.1.1 has a vulnerability in the WAVARC decoder of the libavcodec library which allows for an     integer overflow when handling certain block types, leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.

    CVE-2024-35367:
    FFmpeg n6.1.1 has an Out-of-bounds Read via libavcodec/ppc/vp8dsp_altivec.c, static const vec_s8     h_subpel_filters_outer
