"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 gst-plugins-good (avidemux). In gst_avi_demux_riff_parse_vprp(), the number
of available gst_riff_vprp_video_field_desc entries is calculated by dividing the remaining buffer size by
the attacker-controlled vprp->fields value, rather than by sizeof(gst_riff_vprp_video_field_desc). This
can cause the parser to treat more field descriptors as available than fit in the input buffer, resulting
in out-of-bounds reads. Processing a crafted AVI via playbin/decodebin can crash the application (denial
of service). Fixed upstream in gst-plugins-good 1.28.6 (GStreamer-SA-2026-0072). (CVE-2026-73434)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
