    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.

    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.
