Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5533 advisory.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in plugins for the GStreamer media framework and its codecs and demuxers, which may result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed media file is opened. For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 1.18.4-3+deb11u2. For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 1.22.0-4+deb12u2. 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

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 gst-plugins-bad1.0 packages.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 1.22.0-4+deb12u2.
