An issue was discovered in the FFmpeg package, where vp3_decode_frame in libavcodec/vp3.c lacks check of the return value of av_malloc() and will cause a null pointer dereference, impacting availability.

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 Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3454 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in the FFmpeg package, where vp3_decode_frame in libavcodec/vp3.c lacks check of     the return value of av_malloc() and will cause a null pointer dereference, impacting availability.
    (CVE-2022-3109)

  - A null pointer dereference issue was discovered in 'FFmpeg' in decode_main_header() function of     libavformat/nutdec.c file. The flaw occurs because the function lacks check of the return value of     avformat_new_stream() and triggers the null pointer dereference error, causing an application to crash.
