Threats Tagged 'cve-2026-53705'

GStreamer is a streaming media framework based on graphs of filters which operate on media data. The gstreamer1-plugins-good packages contain a collection of well-supported plug-ins of good quality and under the LGPL license. Security Fix(es): * gstreamer1-plugins-good: GStreamer: Heap buffer overflow in WavPack decoder via integer overflow (CVE-2026-53705) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

A heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in GStreamer's WavPack audio decoder within gst-plugins-good due to an integer overflow in buffer size calculation. This flaw can cause heap memory corruption when processing specially crafted WavPack files. It affects both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to open a malicious WavPack audio file, potentially causing application crashes or arbitrary code execution. Multiple versions of gst-plugins-good are affected. Official patches have been released by Ubuntu and Red Hat to address this issue.

A flaw was found in GStreamer's WavPack audio decoder in gst-plugins-good. When processing a specially crafted WavPack file, an integer overflow in the buffer size calculation (4 * block_samples * channels) in gst_wavpack_dec_handle_frame() causes a very small heap allocation. The WavPack library then writes decoded audio samples far beyond the allocated buffer, resulting in heap memory corruption. This affects both 32-bit and 64-bit systems since the arithmetic is performed in 32-bit integers before promotion to the allocation size type. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash an application or potentially execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to open a malicious WavPack audio file.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in GStreamer, an open source multimedia framework with a plugin-based architecture supporting various platforms. The advisory from the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik references a total of 10 CVEs related to this issue. No specific affected versions or detailed technical descriptions are provided. There is no information about known exploits in the wild or available patches at this time.
