  - GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. An OOB-read vulnerability has
    been identified in the gst_wavparse_smpl_chunk function within gstwavparse.c. This function attempts to
    read 4 bytes from the data + 12 offset without checking if the size of the data buffer is sufficient. If
    the buffer is too small, the function reads beyond its bounds. This vulnerability may result in reading 4
    bytes out of the boundaries of the data buffer. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10. (CVE-2024-47777)

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