high Nessus Plugin ID 187197

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5583 advisory.

 A buffer overflow was discovered in the AV1 video plugin for the GStreamer media framework, which may result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed media file is opened. The oldstable distribution (bullseye) is not affected. For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 1.22.0-4+deb12u4. 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 this issue 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), this problem has been fixed in version 1.22.0-4+deb12u4.
