# CVE-2024-47545: GHSL-2024-242: GStreamer has an integer underflow in FOURCC_strf parsing leading to OOB-read

> An integer underflow in GStreamer's qtdemux component allows out-of-bounds reads, potentially leading to information disclosure or crashes.

## 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 (Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound))

## Which versions are affected by CVE-2024-47545?

Check this codebase for CVE-2024-47545 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: 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.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-47545 exists.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- java (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.0, 8.0.451
- java-min (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.0, 8.0.451
- jre (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.0, 8.0.451

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
