Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-47541

medium Nessus Plugin ID 228528

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. An OOB-write vulnerability has been identified in the gst_ssa_parse_remove_override_codes function of the gstssaparse.c file. This function is responsible for parsing and removing SSA (SubStation Alpha) style override codes, which are enclosed in curly brackets ({}). The issue arises when a closing curly bracket } appears before an opening curly bracket { in the input string. In this case, memmove() incorrectly duplicates a substring.
 With each successive loop iteration, the size passed to memmove() becomes progressively larger (strlen(end+1)), leading to a write beyond the allocated memory bounds. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10. (CVE-2024-47541)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
