A Denial of Service vulnerability exists in FFmpeg 4.2 due to a memory leak in the wtvfile_open_sector function in wtvdec.c.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5167-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that FFmpeg did not properly verify certain input when processing video and audio files.
    An attacker could possibly use this to send specially crafted input to the application, force a division     by zero, and cause a denial of service (application crash). (CVE-2020-20445, CVE-2020-20446,     CVE-2020-20453, CVE-2020-20892)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg did not properly perform certain bit shift and memory operations. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-20902)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg did not properly perform memory management operations in various of its     functions. An attacker could possibly use this issue to send specially crafted input to the application     and cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-21041,     CVE-2020-20451, CVE-2020-21688, CVE-2020-21697, CVE-2020-22020, CVE-2020-22021, CVE-2020-22022,     CVE-2020-22025, CVE-2020-22031, CVE-2020-22032, CVE-2020-22037, CVE-2020-22040, CVE-2020-22041,     CVE-2020-22042, CVE-2020-22044)
