An incomplete fix for CVE-2024-47778 allows an out-of-bounds read in gst_wavparse_adtl_chunk() function. The patch added a size validation check lsize + 8 > size, but it does not account for the GST_ROUND_UP_2(lsize) used in the actual offset calculation. When lsize is an odd number, the parser advances more bytes than validated, causing OOB read.

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1579 advisory.

    An out-of-bounds read in the WAV parser that can cause crashes for certain input files. (CVE-2026-1940)

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

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

The version of gstreamer1-plugins-good installed on the remote host is prior to 1.18.4-6. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3224 advisory.

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 791d4b29-19fb-11f1-87cc-e73692421fef advisory.

    The GStreamer project reports multiple security vulnerabilities fixed in the 1.28.1 release:
    Twelve security vulnerabilities were addressed, including:
    These could lead to application crashes or potentially arbitrary code execution.
