"The version of gstreamer1-plugins-good installed on the remote host is prior to 1.18.4-6. It is, therefore, affected by
a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3912 advisory.

    GStreamer PNG File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This
    vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GStreamer.
    User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page
    or open a malicious file.

    The specific flaw exists within the parsing of PNG files. The issue results from the lack of proper
    validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can
    leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-29581.
    (CVE-2026-18298)

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
