Summary

Integer overflow in GStreamer's handling of palette data in AVI files allows remote code execution. Lack of user-supplied data validation leads to memory corruption.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process, potentially leading to system compromise or data theft.

Recommendation

Update GStreamer to the patched version addressing CVE-2026-2921 immediately. Restrict processing of untrusted AVI files.

Original NVD description (English source)

GStreamer RIFF Palette Integer Overflow 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 handling of palette data in AVI files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before writing to memory. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-28854.
