high Nessus Plugin ID 278547

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2025-894ea1b6a5 advisory.

 ## dr_flac

 ### v0.13.2 - 2025-12-02
 - Improve robustness of the parsing of picture metadata to improve support for memory constrained embedded devices.
 - Fix a warning about an assigned by unused variable.
 - Improvements to drflac_open_and_read_pcm_frames_*() and family to avoid excessively large memory allocations from malformed files.

 ### v0.13.1 - 2025-09-10
 - Fix an error with the NXDK build.

 ## dr_mp3

 ### v0.7.2 - 2025-12-02
 - Reduce stack space to improve robustness on embedded systems.
 - Fix a compilation error with MSVC Clang toolset relating to cpuid.
 - Fix an error with APE tag parsing.

 The APE tag parsing defect may have security implications, github.com/mackron/dr_libs/issues/291.

 ### v0.7.1 - 2025-09-10
 - Silence a warning with GCC.
 - Fix an error with the NXDK build.
 - Fix a decoding inconsistency when seeking. Prior to this change, reading to the end of the stream immediately after initializing will result in a different number of samples read than if the stream is seeked to the start and read to the end.

 ## dr_wav

 ### v0.14.2 - 2025-12-02
 - Fix a compilation warning.

 ### v0.14.1 - 2025-09-10
