Descriptions

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. An OOB-read vulnerability has been discovered in gst_wavparse_adtl_chunk within gstwavparse.c. This vulnerability arises due to insufficient validation of the size parameter, which can exceed the bounds of the data buffer. As a result, an OOB read occurs in the following while loop. This vulnerability can result in reading up to 4GB of process memory or potentially causing a segmentation fault (SEGV) when accessing invalid memory. 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.
