"The version of gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free installed on the remote host is prior to 1.18.4-5. It is, therefore, affected
by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3895 advisory.

    A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the GStreamer gst-plugins-bad adpcmdec element when
    decoding IMA/DVI ADPCM audio. Insufficient validation of the per-block sample count for multi-channel
    streams allows a crafted WAV file to cause writes beyond the allocated output buffer. This can lead to
    application crash, denial of service, memory corruption, or potentially arbitrary code execution when
    untrusted media is processed. (CVE-2026-19387)

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.");
