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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5895-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that MPlayer could be made to divide by zero when processing certain malformed media     files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted media file, an attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause MPlayer to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-38850, CVE-2022-38860,     CVE-2022-38865)

    It was discovered that MPlayer could be made to read out of bounds when processing certain malformed media     files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted media file, an attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause MPlayer to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-38851)

    It was discovered that MPlayer could be made to write out of bounds when processing certain malformed     media files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted media file, an attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause MPlayer to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-38855, CVE-2022-38858, CVE-2022-38863, CVE-2022-38864, CVE-2022-38866)

    It was discovered that MPlayer did not properly managed memory when processing certain malformed media     files.
