The remote Ubuntu 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM / 22.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6449-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly managed memory resulting

    in a memory leak. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service via application     crash. This issue only

    affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-22038)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled certain input files,

    leading to an integer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service via     application crash. This issue only

    affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-20898, CVE-2021-38090,

    CVE-2021-38091, CVE-2021-38092, CVE-2021-38093, CVE-2021-38094)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly managed memory, resulting in a memory leak.

    If a user or automated system were tricked into

    processing a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a     denial of service, or execute

    arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-48434)

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

  - 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)

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

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5721 advisory.

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     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)

  - 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).
