NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gstreamer-plugins-bad package and not the gstreamer-plugins-bad package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

A stack buffer overflow vulnerability was found in GStreamer's DTLS plugin. During a DTLS handshake, the peer certificate Subject Distinguished Name is printed into a fixed-size 2048-byte stack buffer without bounds checking. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send a certificate with an oversized Subject DN that exceeds the buffer, causing a stack buffer overflow and process crash, resulting in denial of service.
