GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. An OOB-read vulnerability has been detected in the format_channel_mask function in gst-discoverer.c. The vulnerability affects the local array position, which is defined with a fixed size of 64 elements. However, the function gst_discoverer_audio_info_get_channels may return a guint channels value greater than 64. This causes the for loop to attempt access beyond the bounds of the position array, resulting in an OOB-read when an index greater than 63 is used. This vulnerability can result in reading unintended bytes from the stack. Additionally, the dereference of value->value_nick after the OOB-read can lead to further memory corruption or undefined behavior. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10.

The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5831 advisory.

    Package        : gst-plugins-base1.0     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-47538 CVE-2024-47541 CVE-2024-47600                      CVE-2024-47607 CVE-2024-47615 CVE-2024-47835

    Multiple multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in plugins for the     GStreamer media framework and its codecs and demuxers, which may result     in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if     a malformed media file is opened.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 1.22.0-3+deb12u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your gst-plugins-base1.0 packages.

    For the detailed security status of gst-plugins-base1.0 please refer to     its security tracker page at:
