FFmpeg n6.1.1 has an integer overflow vulnerability in the FFmpeg CAF decoder.

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-8329-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the FFmpeg CAF decoder incorrectly handled certain file size calculations. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause FFmpeg to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

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

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

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:20710-1 advisory.

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

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in FFmpeg up to 7.1. This affects the
    function ff_aac_search_for_tns of the file libavcodec/aacenc_tns.c of the component AAC Encoder. The
    manipulation leads to stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The
    exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. (CVE-2025-1594)

  - A flaw was found in FFmpeg's TTY Demuxer. This vulnerability allows possible data exfiltration via
    improper parsing of non-TTY-compliant input files in HLS playlists. (CVE-2023-6602)

  - A flaw was found in FFmpeg. This vulnerability allows unexpected additional CPU load and storage
    consumption, potentially leading to degraded performance or denial of service via the demuxing of
    arbitrary data as XBIN-formatted data without proper format validation. (CVE-2023-6604)

  - A flaw was found in FFmpeg's DASH playlist support. This vulnerability allows arbitrary HTTP GET requests
    to be made on behalf of the machine running FFmpeg via a crafted DASH playlist containing malicious URLs.
    (CVE-2023-6605)

  - Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Ffmpeg v.n6.1-3-g466799d4f5 allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary
    code via the config_eq_output function in the libavfilter/asrc_afirsrc.c:495:30 component.
    (CVE-2023-49501)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

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

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:02381-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2024-36618: Fixed integer overflow iff ULONG_MAX < INT64_MAX (bsc#1234020).

    New CVE references, fixed in previous release:

    - CVE-2024-36617: avformat/cafdec: dont seek beyond 64bit (bsc#1234019).
    - CVE-2024-36616: avformat/westwood_vqa: Fix 2g packets (bsc#1234018).

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
