| Summary | Out-of-bounds read in realmedia demuxing |
| Date | 2021-03-15 16:00 |
| Affected Versions | GStreamer gst-plugins-ugly 1.x <= 1.18.3 |
| ID | GStreamer-SA-2021-0004 |
</div>
## Details
GStreamer before 1.18.4 might do an out-of-bounds read when handling certain RealMedia files or streams.
## Impact
It might be possible for a malicious third party to trigger a crash in the application.
## Solution
The gst-plugins-ugly 1.18.4 release addresses the issue. People using older branches of GStreamer should apply the patch and recompile.
