"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1926 advisory.

    Heap buffer overflow in the Matroska (MKV) demuxer when calculating decompressed buffer sizes for
    bz2-compressed tracks. The issue occurs due to missing parentheses in the buffer size calculation, causing
    incorrect memory allocation and potential out-of-bounds writes. (from
    https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/security/sa-2026-0022.html) (CVE-2026-39043)

    An integer overflow in the WAV parser (wavparse) when handling malformed WAV files with cue chunks. The
    vulnerability occurs during buffer size validation when calculating the expected size for cue entries
    (ncues * 24), where insufficient bounds checking allows integer overflow during the multiplication
    operation. (from https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/security/sa-2026-0021.html) (CVE-2026-39044)

    A flaw was found in GStreamer's WavPack audio decoder in gst-plugins-good. When processing a specially
    crafted WavPack file, an integer overflow in the buffer size calculation (4 * block_samples * channels) in
    gst_wavpack_dec_handle_frame() causes a very small heap allocation. The WavPack library then writes
    decoded audio samples far beyond the allocated buffer, resulting in heap memory corruption. This affects
    both 32-bit and 64-bit systems since the arithmetic is performed in 32-bit integers before promotion to
    the allocation size type. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash an application or potentially
    execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to open a malicious WavPack audio file. (CVE-2026-53705)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
