NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gst-plugins-base1.0 package and not the gst-plugins-base1.0 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. An OOB-Write has been detected in the function gst_parse_vorbis_setup_packet within vorbis_parse.c. The integer size is read from the input file without proper validation. As a result, size can exceed the fixed size of the pad->vorbis_mode_sizes array (which size is 256). When this happens, the for loop overwrites the entire pad structure with 0s and 1s, affecting adjacent memory as well. This OOB-write can overwrite up to 380 bytes of memory beyond the boundaries of the pad->vorbis_mode_sizes array. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10.
