Dist Debian Esm H88
GStreamer plugins face critical vulnerabilities in ASF demuxer and RealMedia, potential code execution risk and out-of-bounds write.
Two vulnerabilities were discovered in gst-plugins-ugly1.0, a set of GStreamer plugins from the "ugly" set

Summary

CVE-2026-2920

The ASF demuxer did not validate the number of streams against
the size of its static streams array. A crafted ASF file with
more than 32 streams could cause a heap-based buffer overflow
and potentially allow code execution.

CVE-2026-2922

The RealMedia demuxer checked for too many video fragments after
writing to the fragment storage, allowing an out-of-bounds write.
Additionally, an integer overflow in the fragment size check could
bypass the available data validation.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
1.18.4-2+deb11u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your gst-plugins-ugly1.0 packages.
