"The version of FFmpeg installed on the remote host is 3.0 or later but prior to 9.0. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An uninitialized heap memory read vulnerability in the native RSCC decoder (libavcodec/rscc.c) allows
    attackers to disclose heap memory contents by supplying a crafted video file with a compressed tile that
    decompresses fewer bytes than the declared tile geometry requires. (CVE-2026-70629)

  - An uninitialized heap memory read vulnerability in the native Screenpresso decoder (libavcodec/screenpresso.c)
    allows attackers to recover sensitive memory contents by supplying a crafted SPV1 packet with a valid zlib
    stream that decompresses fewer bytes than the full frame requires. (CVE-2026-70630)

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