CVE-2026-18295

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

GStreamer MRF File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GStreamer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of MRF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-29510.

Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario en instalaciones afectadas de GStreamer. Se requiere interacción del usuario para explotar esta vulnerabilidad, ya que el objetivo debe visitar una página maliciosa o abrir un archivo malicioso.\n\nLa falla específica existe dentro del análisis de archivos MRF. El problema resulta de la falta de validación adecuada de los datos proporcionados por el usuario, lo que puede resultar en una escritura más allá del final de un búfer asignado. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del proceso actual. Fue ZDI-CAN-29510."
