Date 2023-09-20 20:00
Affected Versions GStreamer gst-plugins-bad < 1.22.6
IDs GStreamer-SA-2023-0007
ZDI-CAN-21661

Details

Heap-based buffer overflow in the MXF file demuxer when handling malformed files with AES3 audio in GStreamer versions before 1.22.6

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 1.22.6 releases address the issue. People using older branches of GStreamer should apply the patch and recompile.
