CVE-2024-47615: GHSL-2024-117: GStreamer has an out-of-bounds write in Ogg demuxer

• Severity: critical (CVSS 9.8 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 1.1% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2024-12-12 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-787

Description

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. An OOB-Write has been detected in the function gst_parse_vorbis_setup_packet within vorbis_parse.c. The integer size is read from the input file without proper validation. As a result, size can exceed the fixed size of the pad->vorbis_mode_sizes array (which size is 256). When this happens, the for loop overwrites the entire pad structure with 0s and 1s, affecting adjacent memory as well. This OOB-write can overwrite up to 380 bytes of memory beyond the boundaries of the pad->vorbis_mode_sizes 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.
