GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. A null pointer dereference vulnerability has been identified in gst_gdk_pixbuf_dec_flush
within gstgdkpixbufdec.c
. This function invokes memcpy
, using out_pix
as the destination address. out_pix
is expected to point to the frame 0 from the frame structure, which is read from the input file. However, in certain situations, it can points to a NULL frame, causing the subsequent call to memcpy
to attempt writing to the null address (0x00), leading to a null pointer dereference. This vulnerability can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) by triggering a segmentation fault (SEGV). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10.
