Summary

A flaw was found in GStreamer's H.266 codec parser library (libgstcodecparsers). An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the DCI parsing function, where a reserved field value is incorrectly accepted, causing the parser to write beyond the bounds of an internal structure. An attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted H.266 bitstream to a third-party application that uses this library API, potentially causing a crash or memory corruption. No standard GStreamer pipeline element currently invokes the affected code path.

Risk Assessment

Although not currently exploited by standard GStreamer elements, applications using this library may be vulnerable to attacks, potentially leading to crashes or memory corruption.

Recommendation

Update the GStreamer library to a version containing a fix for this vulnerability if available, and monitor security advisories.
