Ubuntu 8.04 LTS / 8.10 / 9.04 / 9.10 : ffmpeg, ffmpeg-debian vulnerabilities (USN-931-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 45575

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

It was discovered that FFmpeg contained multiple security issues when handling certain multimedia files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted multimedia file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
