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

  - In FFmpeg 4.0.1, improper handling of frame types (other than EAC3_FRAME_TYPE_INDEPENDENT) that have
    multiple independent substreams in the handle_eac3 function in libavformat/movenc.c may trigger an out-of-
    array access while converting a crafted AVI file to MPEG4, leading to a denial of service or possibly
    unspecified other impact. (CVE-2018-13302)

  - The decode_init function in libavcodec/utvideodec.c in FFmpeg 2.8 through 3.4.2 allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (Out of array read) via an AVI file with crafted dimensions within chroma
    subsampling data. (CVE-2018-7557)

  - The svg_probe function in libavformat/img2dec.c in FFmpeg through 3.4.2 allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (Infinite Loop) via a crafted XML file. (CVE-2018-7751)

  - The decode_init 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 an AVI file. (CVE-2018-10001)

  - An improper integer type in the mpeg4_encode_gop_header function in libavcodec/mpeg4videoenc.c in FFmpeg
    2.8 and 4.0 may trigger an assertion violation while converting a crafted AVI file to MPEG4, leading to a
    denial of service. (CVE-2018-12458)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The svg_probe function in libavformat/img2dec.c in FFmpeg through 3.4.2 allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (Infinite Loop) via a crafted XML file. (CVE-2018-7751)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202003-65 (FFmpeg: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in FFmpeg. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :
