What is CVE-2024-47545?

CVE-2024-47545 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Gstreamer Gstreamer, published on 11 Dec 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. An integer underflow has been detected in qtdemux_parse_trak function within qtdemux.c. During the strf parsing case, the subtraction size -= 40 can lead to a negative integer overflow if it is less than 40. If this happens, the subsequent call to gst_buffer_fill will invoke memcpy with a large tocopy size, resulting in an OOB-read. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10.

Weakness: CWE-191
