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

  - FFmpeg versions 0.6.3 through 8.1.2 contain an infinite loop vulnerability in the RTP/ASF demuxer within
    libavformat/rtpdec_asf.c that allows remote attackers to cause denial of service by sending a crafted
    RTP/ASF stream. The rtp_asf_fix_header function fails to validate a minimum chunksize when iterating over
    ASF objects, causing the loop pointer to never advance when a chunksize is smaller than the 24-byte
    minimum ASF object header size, resulting in CPU exhaustion that denies service to legitimate users.
    (CVE-2026-64834)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
