"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in v4l2_buffer_swframe_to_buf() in
    libavcodec/v4l2_buffers.c because cumulative plane offsets are not checked against the V4L2 buffer length.
    Attackers can supply crafted video whose dimensions or padding cause unsigned wraparound in
    v4l2_bufref_to_buf(), making memcpy() write past the mmaped driver buffer during V4L2 M2M encoding.
    (CVE-2026-125208)
