GStreamer H265 Codec Parsing Stack-Based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Vulnerability

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability allowing remote code execution has been identified in the GStreamer H265 codec parsing. The issue arises from improper validation of user-supplied data lengths before copying them to a fixed-length stack-based buffer, particularly in the parsing of H265 slice headers. This vulnerability requires interaction with the GStreamer library to exploit, and can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution on the affected system.
