A flaw was found in FFmpeg’s ALS audio decoder, where it does not properly check for memory allocation failures. This can cause the application to crash when processing certain malformed audio files. While it does not lead to data theft or system control, it can be used to disrupt services and cause a denial of service.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:2990-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2025-7700: Fixed NULL Pointer Dereference in FFmpeg ALS Decoder (libavcodec/alsdec.c) (bsc#1246790).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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 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-2025:3715-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2025-59728: allocated space for the appended '/' (bsc#1251137)

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7830-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled the return values of functions in its Firequalizer     filter and in the HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) implementation, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. If a     user was

    tricked into loading a crafted media file, a remote attacker could

    possibly use this issue to make FFmpeg crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-6603,     CVE-2025-10256)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg did not enforce an input format before triggering the HTTP demuxer. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attack.
    (CVE-2025-6605)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled memory allocation in the ALS audio decoder. If a user     was tricked into loading a crafted media file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to make     FFmpeg crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2025-7700)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled memory in the JPEG 2000 decoder, which could lead to a     heap buffer overflow. If a user or

    application were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an

    attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service

    or leak sensitive information. (CVE-2025-9951)

    Package        : ffmpeg     CVE ID         : CVE-2025-1594 CVE-2025-7700 CVE-2025-10256

    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 the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 7:7.1.2-0+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your ffmpeg packages.
