"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. An OOB-read has been
discovered in the qtdemux_parse_svq3_stsd_data function within qtdemux.c. In the FOURCC_SMI_ case,
seqh_size is read from the input file without proper validation. If seqh_size is greater than the
remaining size of the data buffer, it can lead to an OOB-read in the following call to gst_buffer_fill,
which internally uses memcpy. This vulnerability can result in reading up to 4GB of process memory or
potentially causing a segmentation fault (SEGV) when accessing invalid memory. This vulnerability is fixed
in 1.24.10. (CVE-2024-47596)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
