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.

  - Unchecked Return Value, Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in FFmpeg allows Read Sensitive Constants Within
    an Executable. This vulnerability is associated with program files
    https://github.Com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/libavfilter/af_pan.C . This issue affects FFmpeg: 7.1. Issue
    was fixed: https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/b5b6391d64807578ab872dc58fb8aa621dcfc38a
    https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/b5b6391d64807578ab872dc58fb8aa621dcfc38a This issue was discovered
    by: Simcha Kosman (CVE-2025-0518)

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

  - A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in FFmpeg up to     6e26f57f672b05e7b8b052007a83aef99dc81ccb. This affects the function audio_element_obu of the file     libavformat/iamf_parse.c of the component IAMF File Handler. The manipulation of the argument     num_parameters leads to memory leak. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been     disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier of the patch is     0526535cd58444dd264e810b2f3348b4d96cff3b. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.
    (CVE-2025-1816)

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 / 25.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7538-1 advisory.

    Simcha Kosman discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain return values. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to leak sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu     18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.10. (CVE-2025-0518)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain memory operations. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected     Ubuntu 24.10. (CVE-2025-1816)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg contained a reachable assertion, which could lead to a failure when     processing certain AAC files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted     AAC file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected     Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.10.
    (CVE-2025-22919)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain memory operations. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu     24.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.10 and Ubuntu 25.04. (CVE-2025-22921)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain memory operations. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected     Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.10 and Ubuntu 25.04. (CVE-2025-25473)

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

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