Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 : GStreamer Base Plugins vulnerabilities (USN-7175-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 213188

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7175-1 advisory.

 Antonio Morales discovered that GStreamer Base Plugins incorrectly handled certain malformed media files.
 An attacker could use these issues to cause GStreamer Base Plugins to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu 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

Update the affected packages.
