| Description: | The remote host is missing an update to ffmpeg-debian
announced via advisory USN-734-1.
Details follow:
It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain malformed
Ogg Media (OGM) files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted Ogg
Media file, an attacker could cause the application using FFmpeg to crash,
leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-4610)
It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain parameters
when creating DTS streams. If a user were tricked into processing certain
commands, 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. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.10. (CVE-2008-4866)
It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain malformed
DTS Coherent Acoustics (DCA) files. If a user were tricked into opening a
crafted DCA 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. (CVE-2008-4867)
It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain malformed 4X
movie (4xm) files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted 4xm file,
an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
invoking the program. (CVE-2009-0385)
Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 7.10:
libavcodec1d 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu4.2
libavformat1d 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu4.2
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libavcodec1d 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.3
libavformat1d 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.3
Ubuntu 8.10:
libavcodec51 3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3.1
libavformat52 3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3.1
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
