The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6798-1 advisory.

It was discovered that GStreamer Base Plugins incorrectly handled certain EXIF metadata. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code or cause a crash.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
