Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read in the gst_wavparse_adtl_chunk function. An attacker can cause an out-of-bounds read by crafting input where the lsize value is odd, leading the parser to advance more bytes than validated due to improper handling of size rounding.
