A heap buffer overflow vulnerability in FFmpeg before commit 4bf784c allows attackers to trigger a memory corruption via supplying a crafted media file in avformat when processing tile grid group streams. This can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS).

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)

  - Unchecked Return Value, Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in FFmpeg allows Read Sensitive Constants Within
    an Executable. This vulnerability is associated with program files
    https://github.Com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/libavfilter/af_pan.C . This issue affects FFmpeg: 7.1. Issue
    was fixed: https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/b5b6391d64807578ab872dc58fb8aa621dcfc38a
    https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/b5b6391d64807578ab872dc58fb8aa621dcfc38a This issue was discovered
    by: Simcha Kosman (CVE-2025-0518)

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

  - A heap buffer overflow vulnerability in FFmpeg before commit 4bf784c allows attackers to trigger a memory     corruption via supplying a crafted media file in avformat when processing tile grid group streams. This     can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS). (CVE-2025-22920)

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