| ----------------- | --- |
| Summary | Heap overwrite in subtitle parsing |
| Date | 2023-06-20 18:00 |
| Affected Versions | GStreamer gst-plugins-base 1.x < 1.22.4, 1.x < 1.20.7, 0.10.x |

## Details
Heap-based buffer overflow in the subparse subtitle parser when handling certain SRT subtitle files in GStreamer versions before 1.22.4 / 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-base 1.22.4 / 1.20.7 releases address the issue. People using older branches of GStreamer should apply the patch and recompile.
