Description

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the qtdemux_parse_svq3_stsd_data function of the gst-plugins-good1.0 library. The flaw occurs when the seqh_size value is read from input without proper validation, potentially causing the function to read beyond the buffer limits. This can lead to reading up to 4GB of process memory or cause a segmentation fault. The issue is fixed in version 1.24.10.
