high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 426581

Description

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

- The decode_plane function in libavcodec/utvideodec.c in FFmpeg through 3.4.2 allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (out of array read) via a crafted AVI file. (CVE-2018-6912)

- Memory leak in the sas_smp_get_phy_events function in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c in the Linux
kernel through 4.15.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via many read
accesses to files in the /sys/class/sas_phy directory, as demonstrated by the
/sys/class/sas_phy/phy-1:0:12/invalid_dword_count file. (CVE-2018-7757)

- The export function in libavfilter/vf_signature.c in FFmpeg through 3.4.2 allows remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (out-of-array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long filename.
