"The version of libvpx installed on the remote host is prior to 1.9.0-5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the ALAS2-2025-3015 advisory.

    There exists interger overflows in libvpx in versions prior to 1.14.1. Calling vpx_img_alloc() with a
    large value of the d_w, d_h, or align parameter may result in integer overflows in the calculations of
    buffer sizes and offsets and some fields of the returned vpx_image_t struct may be invalid. Calling
    vpx_img_wrap() with a large value of the d_w, d_h, or stride_align parameter may result in integer
    overflows in the calculations of buffer sizes and offsets and some fields of the returned vpx_image_t
    struct may be invalid. We recommend upgrading to version 1.14.1 or beyond (CVE-2024-5197)

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

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