Synopsis

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM / 22.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6449-2 advisory.

 USN-6449-1 fixed vulnerabilities in FFmpeg. Unfortunately that update could introduce a regression in tools using an FFmpeg library, like VLC.

 This updated fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.
