TencentOS Server 4: gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free (TSSA-2024:0657)

high Nessus Plugin ID 239194

Synopsis

The remote TencentOS Server 4 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0657 advisory.

Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2023-44429:
GStreamer AV1 Codec Parsing Heap-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 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 heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
Was ZDI-CAN-22226.

CVE-2023-44446:
A use-after-free flaw was found in the MXF demuxer in GStreamer when handling certain MXF video files.
This issue could allow a malicious third party to trigger a crash in the application and may allow code execution.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
