How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 libswscale4 to version 3.4.2-11.3.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libswscale4 package and not the libswscale4 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

FFmpeg 2.8 and 4.2.3 has a use-after-free via a crafted EXTINF duration in an m3u8 file because parse_playlist in libavformat/hls.c frees a pointer, and later that pointer is accessed in av_probe_input_format3 in libavformat/format.c.
