Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the FFmpeg multimedia framework, which could result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if malformed files/streams are processed.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:2115-1 advisory.

  - In FFmpeg 4.1.3, there is a division by zero at adx_write_trailer in libavformat/rawenc.c.
    (CVE-2019-13390)

  - A null pointer dereference issue was discovered in 'FFmpeg' in decode_main_header() function of     libavformat/nutdec.c file. The flaw occurs because the function lacks check of the return value of     avformat_new_stream() and triggers the null pointer dereference error, causing an application to crash.
    (CVE-2022-3341)

  - libavcodec/pthread_frame.c in FFmpeg before 5.1.2, as used in VLC and other products, leaves stale hwaccel     state in worker threads, which allows attackers to trigger a use-after-free and execute arbitrary code in     some circumstances (e.g., hardware re-initialization upon a mid-video SPS change when Direct3D11 is used).
    (CVE-2022-48434)

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

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202003-65 (FFmpeg: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in FFmpeg. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system using FFmpeg       to process a specially crafted file, resulting in the execution of       arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Several vulnerabilities have been fixed by upgrading FFmpeg, a widely used multimedia framework, from 3.2.14 to 3.2.15.

CVE-2019-13390

rawenc: Only accept the appropriate stream type for raw muxers.

CVE-2019-17542

Heap-based buffer overflow in vqa_decode_chunk.

CVE-2020-13904

Use-after-free via a crafted EXTINF duration in an m3u8 file.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 7:3.2.15-0+deb9u1.

Several other bugs are also fixed in 3.2.15, a full list of changes is available at https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffmpeg.git/blob/37a8ad9a3167923d50091003 1a8086489c004d83:/Changelog
