  -  * Improve GStreamer multimedia playback across the board with improved codec selection logic, better
    handling of latency, and improving frame discard to avoid audio/video desynchronization, among other
    fixes.  * Disable HLS media playback by default, which makes web sites use MSE instead. If needed
    WEBKIT_GST_ENABLE_HLS_SUPPORT=1 can be set in the environment to enable it back.  * Disable threaded
    rendering in GTK4 builds by default, as it was causing crashes.  * Fix MediaSession API not showing
    artwork images.  * Fix MediaSession MPRIS usage when running inside a Flatpak sandbox.  * Fix input
    element controls to correctly scale when applying a zoom factor different than the default.  * Fix leakage
    of Web processes in certain situations.  * Fix several crashes and rendering issues.  * Security fixes:
    CVE-2023-23517, CVE-2023-23518, CVE-2022-42826, and many additional security issues (CVE-2022-42826)

  - The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. (CVE-2023-23517, CVE-2023-23518)

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