GStreamer AV1 Video Parsing Stack-based Buffer 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 parsing of metadata within AV1 encoded video files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-22300.

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 / 25.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7558-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the AV1 codec plugin in GStreamer could be made to write out of bounds. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to cause applications using the plugin to crash, resulting in a denial of     service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-50186,     CVE-2024-0444)

    It was discovered that the H265 codec plugin in GStreamer could be made to write out of bounds. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause applications using the plugin to crash, resulting in a     denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-3887)
