GStreamer PNG File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow 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 PNG files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-29581.

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2026:0992 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-18295:
    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.

    CVE-2026-18296:
    GStreamer MRF File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow 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 the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can     leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-29608.

    CVE-2026-18298:
    GStreamer PNG File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow 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 PNG files. The issue results from the lack of proper     validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can     leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-29581.

    CVE-2026-18299:
    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.
