Description

An uninitialized stack variable vulnerability exists in the gst_matroska_demux_add_wvpk_header function of the gst-plugins-good1.0 library. This flaw occurs when the function calls gst_buffer_unmap with an uninitialized map variable if size is less than 4, leading to a function pointer hijack in gst_memory_unmap. The vulnerability could allow an attacker to hijack execution flow and potentially execute arbitrary code. It is fixed in version 1.24.10.
