Alpine: multiple ffmpeg packages: security update to 4.0.6-r0

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 404311

Description

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

- aa_read_header in libavformat/aadec.c in FFmpeg before 3.2.14 and 4.x before 4.1.4 does not check for
sscanf failure and consequently allows use of uninitialized variables. (CVE-2019-12730)

- In FFmpeg 4.1.3, there is a division by zero at adx_write_trailer in libavformat/rawenc.c.
(CVE-2019-13390)

- In FFmpeg before 4.2, avcodec_open2 in libavcodec/utils.c allows a NULL pointer dereference and possibly
unspecified other impact when there is no valid close function pointer. (CVE-2019-17539)

- FFmpeg before 4.2 has a heap-based buffer overflow in vqa_decode_chunk because of an out-of-array access
in vqa_decode_init in libavcodec/vqavideo.c. (CVE-2019-17542)

- FFmpeg 2.8 and 4.2.3 has a use-after-free via a crafted EXTINF duration in an m3u8 file because
parse_playlist in libavformat/hls.c frees a pointer, and later that pointer is accessed in
av_probe_input_format3 in libavformat/format.c. (CVE-2020-13904)
