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.

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.

  - In FFmpeg 4.1.3, there is a division by zero at adx_write_trailer in libavformat/rawenc.c.
    (CVE-2019-13390)

  - 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.
    (CVE-2022-3341)

  - 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).

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM / 22.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5958-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that FFmpeg could be made to dereference a null pointer. An attacker could possibly use     this to cause a denial of service via application crash. These issues only affected Ubuntu 16.04 ESM,     Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-3109, CVE-2022-3341)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg could be made to access an out-of-bounds frame by the Apple RPZA encoder. An     attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service via application crash or access sensitive     information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2022-3964)

    It was discovered that FFmpeg could be made to access an out-of-bounds frame by the QuickTime encoder. An     attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service via application crash or access sensitive     information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2022-3965)
