Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM / 22.04 ESM : FFmpeg vulnerabilities (USN-5958-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 172614

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

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)

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.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
