There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - A flaw was found in GStreamer's gst-plugins-good. A heap-based out-of-bounds read of 4 bytes can occur
    when parsing FLAC audio stream headers embedded in a Matroska or WebM container file. The vulnerability is
    triggered by a boundary check that does not account for the full size of the data being copied, allowing a
    small read past the end of the allocated buffer. An attacker could exploit this by crafting a malicious
    Matroska or WebM file and tricking a user into opening it, potentially leaking a small amount of adjacent
    heap memory. (CVE-2026-17072)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 26.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8863-1 advisory.

    Yazan Balawneh discovered that GStreamer Good Plugins incorrectly handled certain FLAC audio streams. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-17072)

    Seonwook Kim discovered that GStreamer Good Plugins incorrectly parsed certain AVI files. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2026-73433)

    Seonwook Kim discovered that GStreamer Good Plugins did not correctly parse certain AVI files. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-73434)

    Seonwook Kim discovered that GStreamer Good Plugins incorrectly handled certain closed caption data. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu     20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-88914)
