Threats Tagged 'cve-2026-85150'

A high severity arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in gstreamer1-plugins-base due to a buffer overflow during OGG file parsing. This affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and related distributions. A security update addressing this issue is available from Red Hat as detailed in advisory RHSA-2026:59487.

GStreamer is a streaming media framework based on graphs of filters which operate on media data. The gstreamer1-plugins-base packages contain a collection of well-maintained base plug-ins. Security Fix(es): * gstreamer1-plugins-base: gstreamer: NULL/invalid-pointer dereference in gst_rtsp_message_parse_auth_credentials() when parsing a crafted Digest Authorization/WWW-Authenticate header (CVE-2026-85150) 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 NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in GStreamer's RTSP support library. The vulnerability occurs while parsing an Authorization or WWW-Authenticate header that uses Digest authentication. Specially crafted whitespace placement around a parameter's terminator can cause an internal length calculation to underflow, leading to a crash of the process parsing the header. On an RTSP server this can be triggered by a remote, unauthenticated attacker sending a single malformed request when the server has authentication enabled; the same flaw can also be triggered against an RTSP client by a malicious or compromised RTSP server. Successful exploitation results in a denial of service (application crash) and has no confirmed impact on confidentiality or integrity.
