Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.891611
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1611-2)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libav' package(s) announced via the DLA-1611-2 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libav' package(s) announced via the DLA-1611-2 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Several security issues have been corrected in multiple demuxers and decoders of the libav multimedia library.

CVE-2014-9317

The decode_ihdr_chunk function in libavcodec/pngdec.c allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap access) and possibly had other unspecified impact via an IDAT before an IHDR in a PNG file. The issue got addressed by checking IHDR/IDAT order.

CVE-2015-6761

The update_dimensions function in libavcodec/vp8.c in libav relies on a coefficient-partition count during multi-threaded operation, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (race condition and memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted WebM file. This issue has been resolved by using num_coeff_partitions in thread/buffer setup. The variable is not a constant and can lead to race conditions.

CVE-2015-6818

The decode_ihdr_chunk function in libavcodec/pngdec.c did not enforce uniqueness of the IHDR (aka image header) chunk in a PNG image, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted image with two or more of these chunks. This has now been fixed by only allowing one IHDR chunk. Multiple IHDR chunks are forbidden in PNG.

CVE-2015-6820

The ff_sbr_apply function in libavcodec/aacsbr.c did not check for a matching AAC frame syntax element before proceeding with Spectral Band Replication calculations, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted AAC data. This has now been fixed by checking that the element type matches before applying SBR.

CVE-2015-6821

The ff_mpv_common_init function in libavcodec/mpegvideo.c did not properly maintain the encoding context, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted MPEG data. The issue has been resolved by clearing pointers in ff_mpv_common_init(). This ensures that no stale pointers leak through on any path.

CVE-2015-6822

The destroy_buffers function in libavcodec/sanm.c did not properly maintain height and width values in the video context, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation violation and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted LucasArts Smush video data. The solution to this was to reset sizes in destroy_buffers() in avcodec/sanm.c.

CVE-2015-6823

Other than stated in the debian/changelog file, this issue has not yet been fixed for libav in Debian jessie LTS.

CVE-2015-6824

Other than stated in the debian/changelog file, this issue has not yet been fixed for libav in Debian jessie LTS.

CVE-2015-6825

The ff_frame_thread_init function in libavcodec/pthread_frame.c mishandled certain memory-allocation failures, ... [Please see the references for more information on the vulnerabilities]

Affected Software/OS:
