Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free installed on the remote host is prior to 1.18.4-5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2355 advisory.

gstreamer: AV1 codec parser heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2023-44429)

gstreamer: MXF demuxer use-after-free vulnerability (CVE-2023-44446)
