NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gst-plugins-bad1.0 package and not the gst-plugins-bad1.0 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

A denial of service vulnerability was found in GStreamer's AV1 codec parser in gst-plugins-bad. The gst_av1_parser_parse_tile_list_obu() function passes a byte count to a bit-reader API that expects a bit count, causing parser desynchronization. A remote attacker could trick a user into opening a specially crafted AV1 media file, triggering an assertion abort and causing the application to crash.
