"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2026:0205 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-52718:
    A denial of service vulnerability was found in GStreamer's AV1 codec parser in gst-plugins-bad. The
    gst_av1_parser_parse_tile_list_obu() function passes a byte count to a bit-reader API that expects a bit
    count, causing parser desynchronization. A remote attacker could trick a user into opening a specially
    crafted AV1 media file, triggering an assertion abort and causing the application to crash.

    CVE-2026-52719:
    An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in the VA JPEG decoder in GStreamer's gst-plugins-bad. The
    JPEG parser reads a segment length value from the bitstream without validating it against available data.
    A remote attacker could trick a user into opening a specially crafted JPEG file, causing downstream
    parsing to read beyond the provided input buffer, leading to a crash or potential information disclosure.

    CVE-2026-52720:
    A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was found in GStreamer's librfb (RFB/VNC client). The rectangle
    bounds check incorrectly validates area rather than individual dimensions, allowing a malicious VNC server
    to send a rectangle that extends beyond the framebuffer. A remote attacker could set up a malicious VNC
    server and trick a user into connecting, resulting in an out-of-bounds heap write that could lead to code
    execution or a crash.

    CVE-2026-52722:
    A signed integer overflow vulnerability was found in GStreamer's VMnc decoder. A crafted VMnc stream with
    large cursor dimensions can overflow signed integer payload-size arithmetic, bypassing a length check and
    leading to out-of-bounds reads. A remote attacker could trick a user into opening a specially crafted VMnc
    file, potentially causing a crash or information disclosure.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.

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