Summary

Use-After-Free vulnerability in GStreamer rtpsbcdepay allows remote code execution. Lack of validating object existence before operations leads to use-after-free. An attacker can leverage this to execute code in the context of the current process.

Risk Assessment

Organization is at risk of remote system takeover if applications using GStreamer process malicious RTP data. This could lead to full system compromise.

Recommendation

Immediately update GStreamer to a patched version. Also restrict processing of untrusted RTP data.

GStreamer rtpsbcdepay Use-After-Free 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 processing of RTP payload elements. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-29787.
