Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-4966 advisory.

Multiple security issues were discovered in the GPAC multimedia framework which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. The oldstable distribution (buster) is not affected. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.1+dfsg1-4+deb11u1. We recommend that you upgrade your gpac packages. For the detailed security status of gpac please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/gpac

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the gpac packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.1+dfsg1-4+deb11u1.
