Debian DSA-2624-1 : ffmpeg - several vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 64648

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in FFmpeg, a multimedia player, server and encoder. Multiple input validations in the decoders/demuxers for Shorten, Chinese AVS video, VP5, VP6, AVI, AVS and MPEG-1/2 files could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

Most of these issues were discovered by Mateusz Jurczyk and Gynvael Coldwind.

Solution

Upgrade the ffmpeg packages.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 4:0.5.10-1.
