    It was discovered that GStreamer Good Plugins incorrectly parsed certain MRF files. A remote attacker
    could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-18295, CVE-2026-18296)

    could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-18298)

    DongHyeon Hwang discovered that GStreamer Good Plugins incorrectly handled certain RTP packets. A remote
    attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-18299)
