GStreamer RealMedia File Parsing Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

CVE-2023-38104

What is CVE-2023-38104?

The GStreamer Media Framework is susceptible to a vulnerability during the processing of RealMedia files, specifically in the parsing of MDPR chunks. The flaw arises from inadequate validation of input data, leading to an integer overflow condition prior to buffer allocation. This situation provides an opportunity for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected process. Successful exploitation necessitates interaction with the GStreamer library, emphasizing the need for stringent security measures to mitigate the risk.
