CVE-2026-19389
HighCVSS 7.1Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk27th percentile - higher than 27% of all known CVEs
Summary
Multiple integer overflow and underflow vulnerabilities were found in the GStreamer gst-plugins-ugly ASF demuxer (asfdemux) when parsing header objects from crafted ASF, WMV, or WMA files. Insufficient validation of attacker-controlled length and size values can bypass bounds checks and cause out-of-bounds heap reads. This can result in application crash, denial of service, or limited information disclosure when untrusted media is processed.
Risk Assessment
Processing malicious media files can cause application crashes or data leakage, posing a risk to system integrity and confidentiality.
Recommendation
Update GStreamer and gst-plugins-ugly to the latest patched version. Avoid processing untrusted ASF/WMV/WMA files until updated.
Other vulnerabilities in GStreamer
See all- CVE-2026-17072Low
In GStreamer's gst-plugins-good, a heap-based out-of-bounds read of 4 bytes occurs when parsing FLAC audio stream headers embedded in Matroska or WebM container files. A boundary check does not account for the full size of the copied data, allowing a small read past the end of the allocated buffer. An attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious Matroska or WebM file and tricking a user into opening it.
- CVE-2017-5843High
Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in the gst_mini_object_unref, gst_tag_list_unref, and gst_mxf_demux_update_essence_tracks functions in GStreamer before 1.10.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors involving stream tags.
- CVE-2017-5840High
The qtdemux_parse_samples function in gst/isomp4/qtdemux.c in GStreamer before version 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read) via vectors involving the current stts index.
- CVE-2017-5838High
The gst_date_time_new_from_iso8601_string function in GStreamer before version 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a malformed datetime string, leading to an out-of-bounds heap read.
- CVE-2016-9447High
The ROM mappings in the NSF decoder in gstreamer 0.10.x allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted NSF music file.
- CVE-2016-9446High
The vmnc decoder in gstreamer does not initialize the render canvas, allowing remote attackers to obtain sensitive information. This is demonstrated by thumbnailing a simple 1 frame vmnc movie that does not draw to the allocated render canvas.
- CVE-2016-9445High
Integer overflow in the vmnc decoder in gstreamer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via large width and height values, which triggers a buffer overflow.
- CVE-2016-9809High
Off-by-one error in the gst_h264_parse_set_caps function in GStreamer before version 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted file, leading to an out-of-bounds read.
- CVE-2016-9808High
The FLIC decoder in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and crash) via a crafted series of skip and count pairs.
- CVE-2026-88914Medium
A flaw was found in GStreamer's gst-plugins-good isomp4 plugin. When processing a specially crafted MP4 or MOV file containing CEA-608 closed-caption data, an integer overflow in 32-bit unsigned arithmetic can bypass a bounds check in the caption parser. This leads to an out-of-bounds heap read of up to 244 bytes, which is then included in the downstream caption output. An attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into opening a malicious media file, potentially resulting in disclosure of adjacent heap memory or application crash.
