Description
Multiple integer overflow and underflow vulnerabilities were found in the GStreamer gst-plugins-ugly ASF demuxer (asfdemux) when parsing header objects from crafted ASF, WMV, or WMA files. Insufficient validation of attacker-controlled length and size values can bypass bounds checks and cause out-of-bounds heap reads. This can result in application crash, denial of service, or limited information disclosure when untrusted media is processed.

AI Analysis

Impact

Multiple integer overflow and underflow conditions exist in GStreamer's ASF demuxer used by the gst-plugins-ugly package. When parsing crafted ASF, WMV, or WMA files, untrusted length and size values bypass bounds checks, enabling out-of-bounds heap reads. This can cause the application to crash, resulting in denial of service, or reveal limited memory contents that may disclose sensitive information. The weakness corresponds to CWE-190, an improper validation of numeric values.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases 7, 8, 9, and 10 that include the GStreamer gst-plugins-ugly bundle. The impacted component is the ASF demuxer (asfdemux) within the gst-plugins-ugly package. No specific product or version range is provided beyond the entire RHEL family; administrators should check installed GStreamer versions and verify deployments of this plugin.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 places the flaw in the high‑severity range, and the EPSS score is currently unspecified. Because the issue requires an attacker to supply a malformed media file to a vulnerable application, the likely attack vector is local or remote file injection, depending on the application context. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, and no exploit or workaround is announced by Red Hat. As a result, the risk depends on the exposure of applications that process ASF, WMV, or WMA files, but no privileged escalation or remote code execution is described.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade GStreamer to a patched release when it becomes available from Red Hat.
  • Disable or remove the gst-plugins-ugly package to prevent processing of ASF, WMV, or WMA files that may be malicious.
  • Monitor application logs for crash events or memory error messages that indicate an out-of-bounds read, and investigate unexpected failures promptly.
