descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200903-33 (FFmpeg: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities were found in FFmpeg: astrange reported a stack-based buffer overflow in the str_read_packet() in libavformat/psxstr.c when processing .str files (CVE-2008-3162). Multiple buffer overflows in libavformat/utils.c (CVE-2008-4866). A buffer overflow in libavcodec/dca.c (CVE-2008-4867). An unspecified vulnerability in the avcodec_close() function in libavcodec/utils.c (CVE-2008-4868). Unspecified memory leaks (CVE-2008-4869). Tobias Klein repoerted a NULL pointer dereference due to an integer signedness error in the fourxm_read_header() function in libavformat/4xm.c (CVE-2009-0385). Impact : A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media file, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
