Descriptions

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. An integer underflow has been detected in the function qtdemux_parse_theora_extension within qtdemux.c. The vulnerability occurs due to an underflow of the gint size variable, which causes size to hold a large unintended value when cast to an unsigned integer. This 32-bit negative value is then cast to a 64-bit unsigned integer (0xfffffffffffffffa) in a subsequent call to gst_buffer_new_and_alloc. The function gst_buffer_new_allocate then attempts to allocate memory, eventually calling _sysmem_new_block. The function _sysmem_new_block adds alignment and header size to the (unsigned) size, causing the overflow of the 'slice_size' variable. As a result, only 0x89 bytes are allocated, despite the large input size. When the following memcpy call occurs in gst_buffer_fill, the data from the input file will overwrite the content of the GstMapInfo info structure. Finally, during the call to gst_memory_unmap, the overwritten memory may cause a function pointer hijack, as the mem->allocator->mem_unmap_full function is called with a corrupted pointer. This function pointer overwrite could allow an attacker to alter the execution flow of the program, leading to arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10.

A flaw was found in the MP4/MOV demuxer and memory allocator in the GStreamer library. Processing a specially crafted input file can cause an integer overflow in the qtdemux_parse_theora_extension function. This issue leads to a small amount of memory being allocated to store a large input size, resulting in an out-of-bounds write.

This update for gstreamer-plugins-good fixes the following issues. Fixed an uninitialized stack memory in Matroska/WebM demuxer. Fixed an out-of-bounds write in isomp4/qtdemux.c. Fixed an out-of-bounds write in convert_to_s334_1a. Fixed an out-of-bounds write in qtdemux_parse_container. Fixed a NULL-pointer dereferences in MP4/MOV demuxer CENC handling. Fixed an integer underflow in FOURCC_strf parsing leading to out-of-bounds read. Fixed an integer underflow in extract_cc_from_data leading to out-of-bounds read. Fixed an integer underflow in MP4/MOV demuxer that can lead to out-of-bounds reads. Fixed an out-of-bounds reads in MP4/MOV demuxer sample table parser. Fixed MP4/MOV sample table parser out-of-bounds read. Fixed insufficient error handling in JPEG decoder that can lead to NULL-pointer dereferences. Fixed a NULL-pointer dereference in Matroska/WebM demuxer. Fixed a NULL-pointer dereferences and out-of-bounds reads in Matroska/WebM demuxer. Fixed a NULL-pointer dereference in Matroska/WebM demuxer. Avoid integer overflow when allocating sysmem. Fixed an integer overflows in MP4/MOV demuxer and memory allocator that can lead to out-of-bounds writes. Fixed a NULL-pointer dereference in gdk-pixbuf decoder.
