Alpine: ffmpeg4: security update to 4.0.2-r0

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 425994

Description

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

- FFmpeg before commit cced03dd667a5df6df8fd40d8de0bff477ee02e8 contains multiple out of array access
vulnerabilities in the mms protocol that can result in attackers accessing out of bound data. This attack
appear to be exploitable via network connectivity. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in
cced03dd667a5df6df8fd40d8de0bff477ee02e8 and later. (CVE-2018-1999010)

- In FFmpeg 4.0.1, due to a missing check of a profile value before setting it, the
ff_mpeg4_decode_picture_header function in libavcodec/mpeg4videodec.c may trigger a NULL pointer
dereference while converting a crafted AVI file to MPEG4, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2018-13301)

- In FFmpeg 4.0.1, a missing check for failure of a call to init_get_bits8() in the avpriv_ac3_parse_header
function in libavcodec/ac3_parser.c may trigger a NULL pointer dereference while converting a crafted AVI
file to MPEG4, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2018-13303)

- In libavcodec in FFmpeg 4.0.1, improper maintenance of the consistency between the context profile field
and studio_profile in libavcodec may trigger an assertion failure while converting a crafted AVI file to
MPEG4, leading to a denial of service, related to error_resilience.c, h263dec.c, and mpeg4videodec.c.
(CVE-2018-13304)
