CVE-2024-47598: GHSL-2024-246: "OOB-read in qtdemux_merge_sample_table in GStreamer - CVE-2024-47598" - CVE-2024-47598

Updated

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. An OOB-read vulnerability has been discovered in the qtdemuxmergesampletable function within qtdemux.c. The problem is that the size of the stts buffer isn’t properly checked before reading sttsduration, 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.
