Description

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. An OOB-read vulnerability has been discovered in the qtdemux_merge_sample_table function within qtdemux.c. The problem is that the size of the stts buffer isn’t properly checked before reading stts_duration, allowing the program to read 4 bytes beyond the boundaries of stts->data. This vulnerability reads up to 4 bytes past the allocated bounds of the stts array. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10.

Affected products

• GStreamer: before 1.24.10 — fixed in 1.24.10

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: GStreamer 1.24.10. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
