Date 2023-06-20 18:00

CVE-2023-37329

Details

Heap-based buffer overflow in the PGS blu-ray subtitle decoder when handling certain files in GStreamer versions before 1.22.4 / 1.20.7.

Impact

It is possible for a malicious third party to trigger a crash in the application, and possibly also effect code execution through heap manipulation.

Solution

The gst-plugins-bad 1.22.4 / 1.20.7 releases address the issue. People using older branches of GStreamer should apply the patch and recompile.
