Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56029
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-230-1 (ffmpeg)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to ffmpeg
announced via advisory USN-230-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)

The following packages are affected: libavcodec-dev kino

Simon Kilvington discovered a buffer overflow in the
avcodec_default_get_buffer() function of the ffmpeg library. By
tricking an user into opening a malicious movie which contains
specially crafted PNG images, this could be exploited to execute
arbitrary code with the user's privileges.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 3:0.cvs20050121-1ubuntu1.1 (libavcodec-dev), and
0.75-6ubuntu0.1 (kino). In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
