AI-suggested
Currently, no mitigation meeting Red Hat Product Security's standards for usability, deployment, applicability, or stability is available. Users should monitor the Red Hat advisory for updates and apply the fix once it is released. Until then, avoid processing untrusted H.265 media streams with affected versions of GStreamer. Red Hat has fixed the issue upstream in gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free version 1.28.9; upgrading to this or a later fixed version when available is recommended.
Description
A use of uninitialized memory vulnerability exists in the GStreamer gst-plugins-bad package's H.265 bitstream parser when processing Video Parameter Sets with multiple HRD parameter sets. This flaw can be triggered by a crafted H.265 media file or stream, causing unpredictable parser behavior and potentially crashing applications using GStreamer for H.265 playback, resulting in denial of service.
