CVE-2024-47543 Information

Description

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. An OOB-read vulnerability has been discovered in qtdemux_parse_container function within qtdemux.c. In the parent function qtdemux_parse_node the value of length is not well checked. So if length is big enough it causes the pointer end to point beyond the boundaries of buffer. Subsequently in the qtdemux_parse_container function the while loop can trigger an OOB-read accessing memory beyond the bounds of buf. This vulnerability can result in reading up to 4GB of process memory or potentially causing a segmentation fault (SEGV) when accessing invalid memory. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10.
