CVSS 3.1
5.5
MediumMetricsAV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
GStreamer versions prior to 1.10.3
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted SMI file. This is demonstrated by the OneNote Manager.smi file.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 1.10.3, update to version 1.10.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the html context handle element function in gst/subparse/samiparse.c until a patch is available. Avoid using crafted SMI files with the affected GStreamer versions.
