GStreamer pcapparse element multiple out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities. In gstpcapparse.c (gst-plugins-bad), multiple issues exist in PCAP record parsing: (1) At line 465-466, srcport/dstport are read from bufproto without verifying sufficient data exists after the IP header for TCP/UDP header fields. (2) At line 485, payloadsize = ippacketlen - ipheadersize - len trusts the ippacketlen field from the IP header. A spoofed value larger than the actual buffer yields a payloadsize exceeding available data. (3) When payloadsize is computed from an untrusted IP length field, downstream gets data from the next PCAP record. Upstream confirmed by maintainer Sebastian Dröge (2026-06-02): "Confirmed, OOB reads. Can only be triggered in specially crafted GStreamer pipelines (as built for debugging purposes) on specially crafted data, very unlikely to cause problems in reality." Fix planned for GStreamer 1.28.4. Upstream issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/workitems/5106 (confidential). Reported via PSIRTSUPT-17026 by JUNYI LIU / Moss (moss80199).
