NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gstreamer1-plugins-good package and not the gstreamer1-plugins-good package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. A null pointer dereference vulnerability has been identified in gst_gdk_pixbuf_dec_flush within gstgdkpixbufdec.c. This function invokes memcpy, using out_pix as the destination address. out_pix is expected to point to the frame 0 from the frame structure, which is read from the input file. However, in certain situations, it can points to a NULL frame, causing the subsequent call to memcpy to attempt writing to the null address (0x00), leading to a null pointer dereference. This vulnerability can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) by triggering a segmentation fault (SEGV). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10.
