Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.04 : GStreamer Base Plugins vulnerabilities (USN-7716-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 258032

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7716-1 advisory.

 Shaun Mirani 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.
