NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gst-plugins-ugly package and not the gst-plugins-ugly package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.18 relevant fixed versions and status.

The gst_asf_demux_process_ext_content_desc function in gst/asfdemux/gstasfdemux.c in gst-plugins-ugly in GStreamer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read) via vectors involving extended content descriptors.
