{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2024-47538","details":"GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. A stack-buffer overflow has been detected in the `vorbis_handle_identification_packet` function within `gstvorbisdec.c`. The position array is a stack-allocated buffer of size 64. If vd-\u003evi.channels exceeds 64, the for loop will write beyond the boundaries of the position array. The value written will always be `GST_AUDIO_CHANNEL_POSITION_NONE`. This vulnerability allows someone to overwrite the EIP address allocated in the stack. Additionally, this bug can overwrite the `GstAudioInfo` info structure. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10.","modified":"2026-02-04T02:56:53.482836Z","published":"2024-12-12T00:00:00Z","related":["USN-7175-1","USN-7807-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2024-47538"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-47538"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-47538"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/security/sa-2024-0022.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://securitylab.github.com/advisories/GHSL-2024-115_GHSL-2024-118_Gstreamer/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-7175-1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-7807-1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"gst-plugins-base1.0","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/gst-plugins-base1.0@1.8.3-1ubuntu0.3+esm2?arch=source&distro=esm-infra/xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.8.3-1ubuntu0.3+esm2"}]}],"versions":["1.6.0-1ubuntu1","1.6.1-1ubuntu1","1.6.2-1ubuntu1","1.7.1-1ubuntu1","1.7.2-1ubuntu1","1.7.90-1ubuntu1","1.7.91-1ubuntu1","1.8.0-1ubuntu1","1.8.1-1ubuntu0.1","1.8.2-1ubuntu0.1","1.8.2-1ubuntu0.2","1.8.3-1ubuntu0.1","1.8.3-1ubuntu0.2","1.8.3-1ubuntu0.3","1.8.3-1ubuntu0.3+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0","binary_version":"1.8.3-1ubuntu0.3+esm2"},{"binary_name":"gstreamer1.0-alsa","binary_version":"1.8.3-1ubuntu0.3+esm2"},{"binary_name":"gstreamer1.0-plugins-base","binary_version":"1.8.3-1ubuntu0.3+esm2"},{"binary_name":"gstreamer1.0-plugins-base-apps","binary_version":"1.8.3-1ubuntu0.3+esm2"},{"binary_name":"gstreamer1.0-x","binary_version":"1.8.3-1ubuntu0.3+esm2"},{"binary_name":"libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0","binary_version":"1.8.3-1ubuntu0.3+esm2"},{"binary_name":"libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev","binary_version":"1.8.3-1ubuntu0.3+esm2"}],"availability":"Available
