Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 16 Apr 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade jre to 8.0.451 or 1.8.0.

AI-suggested

A fix is available in GStreamer version 1.24.10, which addresses the integer underflow vulnerability. Users should update to this version or later to remediate the issue. Red Hat has released OpenJDK 8u452 for Windows with security updates; users should apply this update following Red Hat's guidance. Before applying the update, ensure all previous errata relevant to the system are applied. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Description

An integer underflow vulnerability exists in GStreamer's MP4/MOV demuxer (qtdemux_parse_theora_extension function) that can cause out-of-bounds writes and potential arbitrary code execution. This occurs due to improper handling of a size variable that underflows and is cast to a large unsigned integer, leading to insufficient memory allocation and memory corruption. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.24.10. Red Hat has released an update for OpenJDK 8u452 on Windows that includes security fixes, but this specific vulnerability is addressed in GStreamer 1.24.10. The Red Hat advisory rates the update's overall security impact as Moderate. No known exploits are reported in the wild.

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to memory corruption through out-of-bounds writes, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system. This poses a critical security risk, especially in environments processing untrusted MP4/MOV media files using the vulnerable GStreamer demuxer. However, Red Hat rates the overall update security impact as Moderate, possibly reflecting the bundled nature of fixes and mitigations in their OpenJDK release.

CWE-190Integer Overflow or Wraparound (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: Medium
The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
Requirements
Ensure that all protocols are strictly defined, such that all out-of-bounds behavior can be identified simply, and require strict conformance to the protocol.
Requirements · Language Selection
Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.

Base weakness
Two separate operations in a product require different amounts of time to complete, in a way that is observable to an actor and reveals security-relevant information about the state of the product, such as whether a particular operation was successful or not.

CWE-120Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #11
The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer.

Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.

CWE-122Heap-based Buffer Overflow (opens in a new tab)
Variant weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #16
A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
Pre-design: Use a language or compiler that performs automatic bounds checking.
Architecture and Design
Use an abstraction library to abstract away risky APIs. Not a complete solution.
