REDHAT-BUG-2331722: Integer Overflow

Published Dec 11, 2024
·
Updated

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. The program attempts to reallocate the memory pointed to by stream->samples to accommodate stream->nsamples + samplescount elements of type QtDemuxSample. The problem is that samplescount is read from the input file. And if this value is big enough, this can lead to an integer overflow during the addition. As a consequence, gtryrenew might allocate memory for a significantly smaller number of elements than intended. Following this, the program iterates through samplescount elements and attempts to write samplescount number of elements, potentially exceeding the actual allocated memory size and causing an OOB-write. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10.
