GStreamer-SA-2026-0025: Insufficient validation in MOV/MP4 demuxer uncompressed video handling. Advisory details and affected version range were not available from the page fetch; the OSIM record is based on the published advisory title and date.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GStreamer. Interaction with this library is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the implementation. The specific flaw exists within the processing of RTP payload elements. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.

A flaw was found in GStreamer's H.266 codec parser library (libgstcodecparsers). An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the DCI parsing function, where a reserved field value is incorrectly accepted, causing the parser to write beyond the bounds of an internal structure. An attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted H.266 bitstream to a third-party application that uses this library API, potentially causing a crash or memory corruption. No standard GStreamer pipeline element currently invokes the affected code path.
gst-plugins-base's RTSP support library (subprojects/gst-plugins-base/gst-libs/gst/rtsp/gstrtspmessage.c) implements gstrtspmessageparseauthcredentials(), used by both gst-rtsp-server (to parse a client's Authorization header, gst-rtsp-server/gst/rtsp-server/rtsp-auth.c:861, defaultauthenticate()) and by RTSP clients such as gstrtspsrc (gst-plugins-good/gst/rtsp/gstrtspsrc.c:6966) and rtspclientsink (gst-rtsp-sink/gstrtspclientsink.c:2737) to parse a server's WWW-Authenticate header. The internal helper parseauthcredentials() (gstrtspmessage.c, static function, ~line 1362) tokenizes comma-separated auth-param name=value pairs. For each parameter it computes itemend = skipitem(header) (the end of the current token, which points AT the whitespace/comma/NUL character that terminated the token, not past it), then does value = skiplws(eq + 1); authparam->value = gstrndup(value, itemend - value); (line ~1421-1425). skiplws() has no awareness of itemend: if the character skipitem() used as the token terminator happens to be whitespace, skiplws() will step over it (and any further whitespace) looking for a non-space character, potentially advancing value past itemend. This makes itemend - value a negative ptrdifft, which is implicitly converted to gsize (an unsigned 64-bit value near GMAXSIZE) when passed to gstrndup(). Because n+1 (computed inside gstrndup) wraps to 0 on the -1 case, gnew(gchar, 0) resolves to gmalloc(0), which by GLib's documented contract returns NULL; strncpy() is then invoked with this NULL destination and n=GMAXSIZE, corrupting/crashing, and even where gstrndup does return, the resulting NULL is stored into authparam->value without a NULL check. Immediately afterward the code does if (value[0] == '"') decodequotedstring(authparam->value); -- value[0] here is checked on the original (non-NULL) source pointer, so the branch can be taken even though authparam->value is NULL, and decodequotedstring() dereferences the NULL pointer, causing SIGSEGV. Reporter (Roy Lau, royworking98) reported this to the GStreamer security contacts on 2026-08-26 (gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/workitems/5278), and the maintainers merged a fix at gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer-security/-/mergerequests/120 on 2026-09-02, targeting the 1.28.7 release. Reporter tested against gstreamer <= 1.28.2; the vulnerable code path is present up to (and reportedly including) versions prior to 1.28.7. Verified independently via static source review against the 1.28.2 tag; dynamic PoC execution was not performed. PSIRT Ticket: PSIRTSUPT-23042 (GST-SA-2026-0082).

A flaw was found in GStreamer gst-plugins-good (avidemux). In gstavidemuxriffparsevprp(), the number of available gstriffvprpvideofielddesc entries is calculated by dividing the remaining buffer size by the attacker-controlled vprp->fields value, rather than by sizeof(gstriffvprpvideofielddesc). This can cause the parser to treat more field descriptors as available than fit in the input buffer, resulting in out-of-bounds reads. Processing a crafted AVI via playbin/decodebin can crash the application (denial of service). Fixed upstream in gst-plugins-good 1.28.6 (GStreamer-SA-2026-0072).
A flaw was found in GStreamer gst-plugins-good (avidemux). When parsing FUJIFILM metadata in an AVI strd chunk, gstavidemuxparsestrd() decrements a remaining-length counter by fixed offsets (98 and 10 bytes) without verifying sufficient data remains. For crafted strd payloads of exactly 106 or 107 bytes, the counter underflows to a very large unsigned value, causing subsequent null-terminated string scanning to read far beyond the allocated heap buffer. Date-format normalization may also write beyond the buffer end. Confirmed impacts include heap out-of-bounds read, out-of-bounds write, heap information disclosure (adjacent data appearing in parsed metadata), and application crash/denial of service. The avidemux element is auto-plugged by playbin, decodebin, and gst-discoverer, so opening or previewing a crafted AVI is sufficient to trigger the issue. Fixed upstream in gst-plugins-good 1.28.6 (GStreamer-SA-2026-0072).

A 1-byte heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the gsth264parseprocessnal() function in subprojects/gst-plugins-bad/gst/videoparsers/gsth264parse.c. The function processes H.264 NAL units including GSTH264NALSLICEEXT (NAL type 20) for MVC/SVC extension slices. At line 1132, the code dereferences (nalu->data + nalu->offset + nalu->headerbytes) to check the firstmbinslice flag without first verifying that nalu->size > nalu->headerbytes. For extension slice types, headerbytes is set to 4 (1 byte base + 3 bytes extension header per gsth264parser.c:243). A malformed NAL unit with exactly size==4 passes the minimum size check (size >= 2 at line 999) but triggers a 1-byte read at offset 4, which is beyond the allocated buffer. The same bounds check pattern is correctly implemented in gsth264parsecollectnal() at line 1259 with if (nalu->size > nalu->headerbytes). The vulnerability affects GStreamer 1.x versions (tested against git version 1.29.1.1). Upstream maintainer Sebastian Droege confirmed the vulnerability via GitLab work item 5108. Reported by Dr. Faruk Kazi, Ramesh Adhikari, and Ariba Afroz from CoE-CNDS Lab, VJTI, Mumbai, India. PSIRT Ticket: PSIRTSUPT-17585.
A flaw was found in the GStreamer gst-plugins-bad package. When processing a malformed H.266/VVC video stream with a crafted aspect ratio indicator value, the H.266 parser performs an out-of-bounds read of up to 8 bytes from adjacent memory. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious H.266 video file or stream that, when processed by a GStreamer-based application, could leak limited memory contents through video metadata, potentially exposing sensitive information from the application's address space.
GStreamer H.265 buffering period SEI parser stack buffer overflow. In gsth265parserparsebufferingperiod(), the CPB loop bound used cpbcntminus1[i] instead of cpbcntminus1[0], causing writes past the 32-element CPB arrays on the stack. Fixed in GStreamer 1.28.3 (MR !11334, commit 48c11b7b01). Reported via PSIRTSUPT-7239 by Tianshuo Han.
