CentOS Linux 7 [TuxCare] Security Update: gstreamer1-plugins-good Multiple Vulnerabilities (CENTOS7:CLSA-2026:1793915546)

high Nessus Plugin ID 377992

Synopsis

The CentOS Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The CentOS Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2026:1793915546 advisory.

- A flaw was found in the GStreamer gst-plugins-good package. The rtph264depay and rtph265depay RTP depayloader elements do not enforce a maximum size limit on the reassembly buffer used during fragmented RTP packet processing. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can send a continuous stream of RTP fragments without ever transmitting an end-of-fragment marker, causing the reassembly buffer to grow without bound until process memory is exhausted. This results in a denial of service through process termination.
(CVE-2026-18649)

- An incomplete fix for CVE-2024-47778 allows an out-of-bounds read in gst_wavparse_adtl_chunk() function.
The patch added a size validation check lsize + 8 > size, but it does not account for the GST_ROUND_UP_2(lsize) used in the actual offset calculation. When lsize is an odd number, the parser advances more bytes than validated, causing OOB read. (CVE-2026-1940)

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 gstreamer1-plugins-good package based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory CENTOS7:CLSA-2026:1793915546.
