Affected Versions GStreamer gst-plugins-bad < 1.22.6
IDs GStreamer-SA-2023-0008

CVE-2023-40476

Details

Stack-based buffer overflow in the H.265 video parser when handling malformed H.265 video streams 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 stack manipulation.

Solution
