Descriptions

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. A null pointer dereference vulnerability has been discovered in the gst_matroska_demux_add_wvpk_header function within matroska-demux.c. This function does not properly check the validity of the stream->codec_priv pointer in the following code. If stream->codec_priv is NULL, the call to GST_READ_UINT16_LE will attempt to dereference a null pointer, leading to a crash of the application. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10.

Antonio Morales discovered that GStreamer Good Plugins incorrectly handled certain malformed media files. An attacker could use these issues to cause GStreamer Good Plugins to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
