"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- GStreamer EXIF Metadata Parsing Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability
allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GStreamer. Interaction with
this library is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the
implementation. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of EXIF metadata. The issue results from the
lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before allocating
a buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current
process. . Was ZDI-CAN-23896. (CVE-2024-4453)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
