Security Advisory 2023-0011 (ZDI-CAN-22300)

Summary AV1 codec parser buffer overflow
Date 2023-12-18 14:00
Affected Versions GStreamer gst-plugins-bad < 1.22.8
IDs GStreamer-SA-2023-0011
ZDI-CAN-22300
CVE-2023-50186

Details

Heap-based buffer overflow in the AV1 codec parser when handling certain malformed streams before GStreamer 1.22.8

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