AI-suggested

There is currently no complete fix available for this vulnerability. As a risk reduction measure, disable H.266/VVC media ingestion in GStreamer-based applications and media pipelines where this feature is not required. Until a fixed package is released, avoid opening or transcoding H.266/VVC files or streams from untrusted sources.

Description

A vulnerability in GStreamer's gst-plugins-bad H.266/VVC parser allows a stack-based buffer overflow triggered by a malformed H.266 media file or stream. This occurs due to an integer overflow while parsing profile, tier, and level fields. Exploitation can cause application crashes and potentially enable code execution with the application's privileges. The flaw affects specific versions of gst-plugins-bad1.0 and requires user interaction to open or ingest malicious media. No complete fix is currently available; disabling H.266/VVC media ingestion is recommended as a mitigation until patched versions are released.
