high Nessus Plugin ID 145208

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Andrew Wesie discovered a buffer overflow in the H264 support of the GStreamer multimedia framework, which could potentially result in the execution of arbitrary code.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.10.4-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your gst-plugins-bad1.0 packages.

For the detailed security status of gst-plugins-bad1.0 please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/gst-plugins-bad1.0

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
