Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2019.0029
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2019-0029)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'ffmpeg, live, mplayer, vlc' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2019-0029 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'ffmpeg, live, mplayer, vlc' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2019-0029 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A bug in the server implementation of RTSP-over-HTTP in live could allow
a denial-of-service attack.

A bug in the server implementation of RTSP-over-HTTP could allow a
buffer overflow, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code
when parsing a malformed RTSP stream (CVE-2018-4013).

The flv_write_packet function in libavformat/flvenc.c in FFmpeg through
3.3.8 does not check for an empty audio packet, leading to an assertion
failure (CVE-2018-15822).

The live package has been updated to version 2018.11.26, the ffmpeg
package has been updated to version 3.3.9, and the vlc package has been
updated to version 3.0.5, fixing these issues and other bugs.

The mplayer package has been rebuilt against the update live package to
fix the RTSP-over-HTTP issues in mplayer.

Affected Software/OS:
'ffmpeg, live, mplayer, vlc' package(s) on Mageia 6.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
