patch available.

  - GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. The program attempts to
    reallocate the memory pointed to by stream->samples to accommodate stream->n_samples + samples_count
    elements of type QtDemuxSample. The problem is that samples_count is read from the input file. And if this
    value is big enough, this can lead to an integer overflow during the addition. As a consequence,
    g_try_renew might allocate memory for a significantly smaller number of elements than intended. Following
    this, the program iterates through samples_count elements and attempts to write samples_count number of
    elements, potentially exceeding the actual allocated memory size and causing an OOB-write. This
    vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10. (CVE-2024-47537)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
