Affected Versions GStreamer gst-plugins-ugly 1.x <= 1.18.3
ID GStreamer-SA-2021-0004

Details

GStreamer before 1.18.4 might do an out-of-bounds read when handling certain RealMedia files or streams.

Impact

It might be possible for a malicious third party to trigger a crash in the application.

Solution

The gst-plugins-ugly 1.18.4 release addresses the issue. People using older branches of GStreamer should apply the patch and recompile.
