## Details
GStreamer before 1.16.0 has a heap-based buffer overflow in the RTSP connection parser via a crafted response from a server.
## Impact
The potential exists for a malicious server to trigger remote code execution in a connecting client.
## Threat mitigation
Exploitation requires the user to access a malicious RTSP server.
## Workarounds
The user should refrain from opening RTSP streams from untrusted third parties
## Solution
The gst-plugins-base 1.16.0 release addresses the issue. People using older branches of GStreamer should apply the patch and recompile.
