Descriptions

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. An OOB-read vulnerability has been detected in the format_channel_mask function in gst-discoverer.c. The vulnerability affects the local array position, which is defined with a fixed size of 64 elements. However, the function gst_discoverer_audio_info_get_channels may return a guint channels value greater than 64. This causes the for loop to attempt access beyond the bounds of the position array, resulting in an OOB-read when an index greater than 63 is used. This vulnerability can result in reading unintended bytes from the stack. Additionally, the dereference of value->value_nick after the OOB-read can lead to further memory corruption or undefined behavior. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10.

A flaw was found in the GStreamer library. An out-of-bounds read in the gst-discoverer-1.0 command line tool can cause crashes for certain input files, potentially allowing a malicious third party to trigger an application crash. This issue only affects the gst-discoverer-1.0 command line tool and not any other applications using GStreamer.

This update for gstreamer-plugins-base fixes the following issues. Fixed a stack-buffer overflow in vorbis_handle_identification_packet. Fixed a NULL-pointer dereference in LRC subtitle parser. Fixed an out-of-bounds read in gst-discoverer-1.0 commandline tool. Fixed an out-of-bounds write in Ogg demuxer. Fixed an out-of-bounds write in SSA subtitle parser. Fixed an ID3v2 parser out-of-bounds read and NULL-pointer dereference. Fixed a stack buffer-overflow in Opus decoder.
