Severity

medium6.5

CVSS measures technical severity, not the likelihood of an attack.

Known exploitation

Not listed in the checked CISA KEV catalog

Absence from CISA KEV does not rule out attacks.

Public exploit

Not established by this record

Missing evidence does not mean no public exploit exists.

Remediation

Source guidance available

Review the recorded instructions. Guidance may be a workaround rather than a fixed version.

What this means

A use of uninitialized memory vulnerability exists in GStreamer's gst-plugins-bad package when processing H.265 Video Parameter Sets with multiple HRD parameter sets. A remote attacker could exploit this by providing a crafted H.265 media file. This may cause unpredictable parser behavior and crash the application.

Summarized by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast. Verify details against the original sources.

Original source description

Read the full publisher description

A flaw was found in GStreamer's gst-plugins-bad package. A use of uninitialized memory vulnerability exists in the H.265 (HEVC) bitstream parser when processing Video Parameter Sets that declare more than one HRD (Hypothetical Reference Decoder) parameter set. A remote attacker could exploit this by providing a crafted H.265 media file or stream that, when processed by an application using GStreamer, causes unpredictable parser behavior and may crash the application. This can lead to a denial of service for any application using GStreamer to play back H.265 content.
