Ubuntu Linux - Integer overflow in WAV parser cue handling

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  CVE-2026-39044


It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1926 advisory.

    Heap buffer overflow in the Matroska (MKV) demuxer when calculating decompressed buffer sizes for     bz2-compressed tracks. The issue occurs due to missing parentheses in the buffer size calculation, causing     incorrect memory allocation and potential out-of-bounds writes. (from     https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/security/sa-2026-0022.html) (CVE-2026-39043)

    An integer overflow in the WAV parser (wavparse) when handling malformed WAV files with cue chunks. The     vulnerability occurs during buffer size validation when calculating the expected size for cue entries     (ncues * 24), where insufficient bounds checking allows integer overflow during the multiplication     operation. (from https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/security/sa-2026-0021.html) (CVE-2026-39044)

    A flaw was found in GStreamer's WavPack audio decoder in gst-plugins-good. When processing a specially     crafted WavPack file, an integer overflow in the buffer size calculation (4 * block_samples * channels) in     gst_wavpack_dec_handle_frame() causes a very small heap allocation. The WavPack library then writes     decoded audio samples far beyond the allocated buffer, resulting in heap memory corruption. This affects     both 32-bit and 64-bit systems since the arithmetic is performed in 32-bit integers before promotion to     the allocation size type. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash an application or potentially     execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to open a malicious WavPack audio file. (CVE-2026-53705)

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues 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 multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3788 advisory.

    Multiple security 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 stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 1.26.2-1+deb13u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your gst-plugins-good1.0 packages.

    For the detailed security status of gst-plugins-good1.0 please refer to     its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/gst-plugins-good1.0

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 05aadfcc-55f5-11f1-915c-8974b59277b5 advisory.

    The GStreamer project reports multiple security vulnerabilities fixed in the 1.28.2 release:
    Several security vulnerabilities were addressed, including:
    These could lead to application crashes, memory exhaustion, or potentially arbitrary code execution.
