Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.67350
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-931-2 (ffmpeg-debian)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to ffmpeg-debian
announced via advisory USN-931-2.

Details follow:

USN-931-1 fixed vulnerabilities in FFmpeg. The update introduced a
regression when trying to play certain multimedia files. This update fixes
the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that FFmpeg contained multiple security issues when
handling certain multimedia files. If a user were tricked into opening a
crafted multimedia 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.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libavcodec1d 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.5
libavformat1d 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.5

Ubuntu 8.10:
libavcodec51 3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3.3
libavformat52 3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3.3

Ubuntu 9.04:
libavcodec52 3:0.svn20090303-1ubuntu6.2
libavformat52 3:0.svn20090303-1ubuntu6.2

Ubuntu 9.10:
libavcodec52 4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu2.2
libavformat52 4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu2.2

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
