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

  - A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in ffmpeg. This affects an unknown part of the
    file libavcodec/rpzaenc.c of the component QuickTime RPZA Video Encoder. The manipulation of the argument
    y_size leads to out-of-bounds read. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The name of the patch
    is 92f9b28ed84a77138105475beba16c146bdaf984. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The
    associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-213543. (CVE-2022-3964)

  - A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in ffmpeg. This vulnerability affects the function
    smc_encode_stream of the file libavcodec/smcenc.c of the component QuickTime Graphics Video Encoder. The
    manipulation of the argument y_size leads to out-of-bounds read. The attack can be initiated remotely. The
    name of the patch is 13c13109759090b7f7182480d075e13b36ed8edd. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix
    this issue. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-213544. (CVE-2022-3965)

The version of ffmpeg installed on the remote host is prior to 4.4.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2024-235-01 advisory.

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

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the ffmpeg security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM / 22.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5958-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that FFmpeg could be made to dereference a null pointer. An attacker could possibly use     this to cause a denial of service via application crash. These issues only affected Ubuntu 16.04 ESM,     Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-3109, CVE-2022-3341)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg could be made to access an out-of-bounds frame by the Apple RPZA encoder. An     attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service via application crash or access sensitive     information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2022-3964)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg could be made to access an out-of-bounds frame by the QuickTime encoder. An     attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service via application crash or access sensitive     information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2022-3965)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:4194-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2022-3964: Fixed out of bounds read in update_block_in_prev_frame() (bsc#1205388).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202312-14 (FFmpeg: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - dwa_uncompress in libavcodec/exr.c in FFmpeg 4.4 allows an out-of-bounds array access because dc_count is     not strictly checked. (CVE-2021-33815)

  - adts_decode_extradata in libavformat/adtsenc.c in FFmpeg 4.4 does not check the init_get_bits return     value, which is a necessary step because the second argument to init_get_bits can be crafted.
    (CVE-2021-38171)

  - FFmpeg version (git commit de8e6e67e7523e48bb27ac224a0b446df05e1640) suffers from a an assertion failure     at src/libavutil/mathematics.c. (CVE-2021-38291)

  - An integer overflow vulnerability was found in FFmpeg versions before 4.4.2 and before 5.0.1 in     g729_parse() in llibavcodec/g729_parser.c when processing a specially crafted file. (CVE-2022-1475)

  - A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in ffmpeg. This affects an unknown part of the     file libavcodec/rpzaenc.c of the component QuickTime RPZA Video Encoder. The manipulation of the argument     y_size leads to out-of-bounds read. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The name of the patch     is 92f9b28ed84a77138105475beba16c146bdaf984.

It is recommended to apply a patch to fix     this issue. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-213544. (CVE-2022-3965)

  - libavcodec/pthread_frame.c in FFmpeg before 5.1.2, as used in VLC and other products, leaves stale hwaccel     state in worker threads, which allows attackers to trigger a use-after-free and execute arbitrary code in     some circumstances (e.g., hardware re-initialization upon a mid-video SPS change when Direct3D11 is used).
    (CVE-2022-48434)
