"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - A flaw was found in GStreamer's WavPack audio decoder in gst-plugins-good. When processing a specially
    crafted WavPack file, an integer overflow in the buffer size calculation (4 * block_samples * channels) in
    gst_wavpack_dec_handle_frame() causes a very small heap allocation. The WavPack library then writes
    decoded audio samples far beyond the allocated buffer, resulting in heap memory corruption. This affects
    both 32-bit and 64-bit systems since the arithmetic is performed in 32-bit integers before promotion to
    the allocation size type. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash an application or potentially
    execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to open a malicious WavPack audio file. (CVE-2026-53705)

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