gstreamer1-plugins-base security update (CVE-2024-4453)
GStreamer is a graphics library for built-in media processing components. BasePlug-ins is a the collections used to maintain the GStreamer plugin. Security Fix(es): GStreamer EXIF Metadata Parsing Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GStreamer. Interaction with this library is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the implementation.The specific flaw exists within the parsing of EXIF metadata. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before allocating a buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.. Was ZDI-CAN-23896.(CVE-2024-4453)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from improper validation of user-supplied EXIF metadata in the GStreamer base plugins collection. The integer overflow occurs before buffer allocation during metadata parsing, enabling remote attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected process. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2024-4453 and was previously identified as ZDI-CAN-23896. It has a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.8, indicating high severity. The affected versions are those before 1.22.5-7.oe2403sp4.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process using the vulnerable GStreamer plugin. This can lead to full compromise of the affected system or application. The vulnerability requires user interaction and access to the vulnerable library, but no known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
A patch is available for this vulnerability. Users should update gstreamer1-plugins-base to version 1.22.5-7.oe2403sp4 or later to remediate the issue. Applying the official fix eliminates the risk of exploitation.
