"The version of GStreamer installed on the remote host is prior to 1.28.5. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities:

  - 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. (CVE-2026-52722)

  - Multiple out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities were found in GStreamer's pcapparse element. Malformed PCAP
    records can trigger reads beyond buffer boundaries during IPv4/TCP header parsing. This element is
    primarily used in debugging pipelines, limiting real-world exposure. A local attacker could trick a user
    into processing a specially crafted PCAP file, potentially leading to a crash or information disclosure.
    (CVE-2026-52721)

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