TencentOS Server 3: gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free (TSSA-2024:0196)

high Nessus Plugin ID 276096

Synopsis

The remote TencentOS Server 3 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0196 advisory.

Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2023-40474:
A heap-buffer overflow flaw was found in the MXF file demuxer in the GStreamer Plugins Bad when handling malformed files with an uncompressed video. This issue requires user interaction with the library, and could allow a malicious user to cause an integer overflow before allocating the buffer, triggering a crash or code execution via heap manipulation, executing code in the context of the current process.

CVE-2023-40475:
A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the MXF file, demuxer, in the GStreamer Plugins Bad when handling malformed files with AES3 audio. This issue requires user interaction with the library. It may allow a malicious user to cause an integer overflow before allocating the buffer, triggering a crash or code execution via heap manipulation, and executing code in the context of the current process.

CVE-2023-40476:
A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the GStreamer Plugins Bad when handling malformed files with H.265 video streams. This issue requires user interaction with the library and may allow a malicious user to cause an integer overflow before allocating the buffer, triggering a crash or code execution via heap manipulation, executing code in the context of the current process.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux 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.
