Debian DLA-83-1 : ffmpeg update

high Nessus Plugin ID 82228

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

This update to ffmpeg disables support for over 100 codecs, decoders, and formats that are rarely used nowadays, for which the support available in squeeze is most likely insufficient, etc.

This update is only meant to reduce the attack surface.

ffmpeg is otherwise unsupported in squeeze-lts, and any use of it with untrusted data is highly discouraged.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
