Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow due to a possible overwrite in mkv demultiplexing using zlib decompression, via the gst_matroska_decompress_data function of the matroskademux element.

Note: This vulnerability could lead to a heap overwrite while using a libc implementation that does not use mmap, or if the OS does not support mmap.
