Synopsis

The remote Slackware Linux host is missing a security update to ffmpeg.

Description

The version of ffmpeg installed on the remote host is prior to 4.4.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2025-143-01 advisory.

 New ffmpeg packages are available for Slackware 15.0 to fix security issues.
