What is CVE-2024-47775?

CVE-2024-47775 is a medium-severity memory corruption 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 OOB-read vulnerability has been found in the parse_ds64 function within gstwavparse.c. The parse_ds64 function does not check that the buffer buf contains sufficient data before attempting to read from it, doing multiple GST_READ_UINT32_LE operations without performing boundary checks. This can lead to an OOB-read when buf is smaller than expected. This vulnerability allows reading beyond the bounds of the data buffer, potentially leading to a crash (denial of service) or the leak of sensitive data. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10.

Weakness: CWE-125
