CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

A vulnerability in GStreamer’s gst-plugins-good can lead to out-of-bounds reads due to improper calculation of available video field descriptors, potentially causing application crashes when processing maliciously crafted AVI files. This flaw poses a denial-of-service risk, particularly for applications using playbin or decodebin. Organizations utilizing GStreamer should prioritize patching to version 1.28.6 or later to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

A flaw was found in GStreamer gst-plugins-good (avidemux). In gst_avi_demux_riff_parse_vprp(), the number of available gst_riff_vprp_video_field_desc entries is calculated by dividing the remaining buffer size by the attacker-controlled vprp->fields value, rather than by sizeof(gst_riff_vprp_video_field_desc). This can cause the parser to treat more field descriptors as available than fit in the input buffer, resulting in out-of-bounds reads. Processing a crafted AVI via playbin/decodebin can crash the application (denial of service). Fixed upstream in gst-plugins-good 1.28.6 (GStreamer-SA-2026-0072).
