Descriptions

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. An OOB-read vulnerability has been identified in the gst_avi_subtitle_parse_gab2_chunk function within gstavisubtitle.c. The function reads the name_length value directly from the input file without checking it properly. Then, the a condition, does not properly handle cases where name_length is greater than 0xFFFFFFFF - 17, causing an integer overflow. In such scenario, the function attempts to access memory beyond the buffer leading to an OOB-read. 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.
