high Nessus Plugin ID 324060

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:21061-1 advisory.

This update for libaom fixes the following issues

- CVE-2026-56208: untrusted encoder configuration inputs can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow and a process crash (bsc#1268650).
- CVE-2026-56209: crafted video frames with specific Y-plane pixel values can lead to an arbitrary memory write (bsc#1268651).
- CVE-2026-56210: missing bounds check on layer_id inputs can lead to an out-of-bounds heap read (bsc#1268653).
- CVE-2026-56211: out-of-range spatial/temporal layer selection can lead to remote code execution (bsc#1268655).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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 aom-tools, libaom-devel and / or libaom3 packages.
