"The version of FFmpeg installed on the remote host is 0.5 or later but prior to 9.0. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A signed integer overflow vulnerability in the DVB subtitle parser in libavcodec/dvbsub_parser.c allows
    attackers to trigger a heap buffer overflow by supplying a crafted WTV file, resulting in an out-of-bounds
    heap write and potential memory corruption or code execution. (CVE-2026-70628)

  - An uninitialized heap memory disclosure vulnerability in the native TIFF decoder in libavcodec/tiff.c allows
    attackers to expose stale heap data by supplying a crafted TIFF file with a Deflate-compressed strip that
    produces fewer bytes than declared. (CVE-2026-70631)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported
version number.");
