# Security Advisory 2023-0005 (ZDI-CAN-21444)
<div class="vertical-table">
| | |
| ----------------- | --- |
| Summary | Integer overflow leading to heap overwrite in RealMedia file handling |
| Date | 2023-07-20 14:00 |
| Affected Versions | GStreamer gst-plugins-ugly 1.x < 1.22.5, 1.x < 1.20.7, 0.10.x |
| IDs | GStreamer-SA-2023-0005<br/>ZDI-CAN-21444 |
</div>
## Details
Heap-based buffer overflow in the RealMedia file demuxer when handling malformed files in GStreamer versions before 1.22.5 / 1.20.7.
## 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-ugly 1.22.5 / 1.20.7 releases address the issue. People using older branches of GStreamer should apply the patch and recompile.
