# Security Advisory 2021-0005
<div class="vertical-table">
| | |
| ----------------- | --- |
| Summary | Stack overflow in gst\_ffmpeg\_channel\_layout\_to\_gst() |
| Date | 2021-03-15 16:00 |
| Affected Versions | GStreamer gst-libav 1.x <= 1.18.3 |
| ID | GStreamer-SA-2021-0005 |
</div>
## Details
GStreamer before 1.18.4 might cause stack corruptions with streams that have more than 64 audio channels.
## Impact
It might be possible for a malicious third party to trigger a crash in the application.
## Solution
The gst-libav 1.18.4 release addresses the issue. People using older branches of GStreamer should apply the patch and recompile.
