Descriptions

GStreamer EXIF Metadata Parsing Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GStreamer. Interaction with this library is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the implementation. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of EXIF metadata. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before allocating a buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
. Was ZDI-CAN-23896.

Vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código de desbordamiento de enteros en el análisis de metadatos EXIF de GStreamer. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario en instalaciones afectadas de GStreamer. Se requiere la interacción con esta librería para aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad, pero los vectores de ataque pueden variar según la implementación. La falla específica existe en el análisis de metadatos EXIF. El problema se debe a la falta de una validación adecuada de los datos proporcionados por el usuario, lo que puede provocar un desbordamiento de enteros antes de asignar un búfer. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del proceso actual. . Era ZDI-CAN-23896.

A flaw was found in the GStreamer library. This flaw allows a remote attacker to send specially crafted content to the victim, allowing for arbitrary code execution within the context of the affected installation's process. The vulnerability is caused by improper parsing of EXIF metadata and a lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which triggers an integer overflow.
