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

  CVE-2026-55869


The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 26.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8764-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that SRT did not authenticate certain encryption control messages. A remote attacker     could possibly use this issue to downgrade an encrypted connection and inject arbitrary content or     interrupt a media stream. (CVE-2026-55868)

    It was discovered that SRT did not properly validate certain control packets during connection setup and     key refresh operations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause SRT to crash, resulting     in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-55869)

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.

The remote Debian 13 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6450 advisory.

    Package        : srt     CVE ID         : CVE-2026-55868 CVE-2026-55869

    Two security vulnerabilities were discovered in SRT, a latency-aware UDP     streaming library, which could result in denial of service or encryption     bypass.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 1.5.4-1+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your srt packages.
