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

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in FFmpeg's RASC video decoder. The decode_move() function
    initializes a read pointer into a decompressed buffer, but a subsequent reallocation of that same buffer
    during move-table processing leaves the pointer dangling. An attacker could exploit this by providing a
    specially crafted AVI file containing a malicious RASC video stream. When a user opens or plays the file,
    the decoder reads from freed heap memory, which could lead to a denial of service (crash).
