Ubuntu 24.04 LTS : AOM vulnerability (USN-6815-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 200176

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6815-1 advisory.

 Xiantong Hou discovered that AOM did not properly handle certain malformed media files. If an application using AOM opened a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected aom-tools, libaom-dev and / or libaom3 packages.
