Security Advisory 2024-0002 (ZDI-CAN-23896, CVE-2024-4453)
| Summary | Integer overflow in EXIF metadata parser leading to potential heap overwrite | 
| Date | 2024-04-29 20:00 |

| IDs | GStreamer-SA-2024-0002 ZDI-CAN-23896 CVE-2024-4453 | 
Details
Heap-based buffer overflow in the EXIF image tag parser when handling certain malformed streams before GStreamer 1.24.3 or 1.22.12.
Impact
It is possible for a malicious third party to trigger a crash in the application, and possibly also effect code execution through heap manipulation.
Solution
The gst-plugins-base 1.24.3 and 1.22.12 releases address the issue. People using older branches of GStreamer should apply the patch and recompile.
