high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 404295

Description

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

- Heap-based buffer overflow in the xwd_decode_frame function in libavcodec/xwddec.c in FFmpeg before
2.8.12, 3.0.x before 3.0.8, 3.1.x before 3.1.8, 3.2.x before 3.2.5, and 3.3.x before 3.3.1 allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
crafted file. (CVE-2017-9991)

- Heap-based buffer overflow in the decode_dds1 function in libavcodec/dfa.c in FFmpeg before 2.8.12, 3.0.x
before 3.0.8, 3.1.x before 3.1.8, 3.2.x before 3.2.5, and 3.3.x before 3.3.1 allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted
file. (CVE-2017-9992)

- libavcodec/webp.c in FFmpeg before 2.8.12, 3.0.x before 3.0.8, 3.1.x before 3.1.8, 3.2.x before 3.2.5, and
3.3.x before 3.3.1 does not ensure that pix_fmt is set, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
crafted file, related to the vp8_decode_mb_row_no_filter and pred8x8_128_dc_8_c functions. (CVE-2017-9994)

- The cdxl_decode_frame function in libavcodec/cdxl.c in FFmpeg 2.8.x before 2.8.12, 3.0.x before 3.0.8,
3.1.x before 3.1.8, 3.2.x before 3.2.5, and 3.3.x before 3.3.1 does not exclude the CHUNKY format, which
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or
possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-9996)
