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

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in FFmpeg up to 7.1. This affects the
    function ff_aac_search_for_tns of the file libavcodec/aacenc_tns.c of the component AAC Encoder. The
    manipulation leads to stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The
    exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. (CVE-2025-1594)

  - A flaw was found in FFmpeg's TTY Demuxer. This vulnerability allows possible data exfiltration via
    improper parsing of non-TTY-compliant input files in HLS playlists. (CVE-2023-6602)

  - A flaw was found in FFmpeg. This vulnerability allows unexpected additional CPU load and storage
    consumption, potentially leading to degraded performance or denial of service via the demuxing of
    arbitrary data as XBIN-formatted data without proper format validation. (CVE-2023-6604)

  - A flaw was found in FFmpeg's DASH playlist support. This vulnerability allows arbitrary HTTP GET requests
    to be made on behalf of the machine running FFmpeg via a crafted DASH playlist containing malicious URLs.
    (CVE-2023-6605)

  - Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Ffmpeg v.n6.1-3-g466799d4f5 allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary
    code via the config_eq_output function in the libavfilter/asrc_afirsrc.c:495:30 component.

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7830-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled the return values of functions in its Firequalizer     filter and in the HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) implementation, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. If a     user was

    tricked into loading a crafted media file, a remote attacker could

    possibly use this issue to make FFmpeg crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-6603,     CVE-2025-10256)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg did not enforce an input format before triggering the HTTP demuxer. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attack.
    (CVE-2025-6605)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled memory allocation in the ALS audio decoder. If a user     was tricked into loading a crafted media file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to make     FFmpeg crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2025-7700)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg incorrectly handled memory in the JPEG 2000 decoder, which could lead to a     heap buffer overflow. If a user or

    application were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an

    attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service

    or leak sensitive information. (CVE-2025-9951)
