<div class="vertical-table">

| ----------------- | --- |
| Summary | Integer overflow in EXIF metadata parser leading to potential heap overwrite |
| Date | 2024-04-29 20:00 |
| Affected Versions | GStreamer gst-plugins-base < 1.24.3, gst-plugins-base < 1.22.12 |

## Details
Heap-based buffer overflow in the EXIF image tag parser when handling certain malformed streams before GStreamer 1.24.3 or 1.22.12.
## 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-base 1.24.3 and 1.22.12 releases address the issue.
People using older branches of GStreamer should apply the patch and recompile.
