Calendar Grey July 10, 2021
Dist Mageia Esm H88
The update for Mageia's gstreamer1.0-plugins addresses security vulnerabilities, particularly those associated with out-of-bounds read problems related to ID3v2 metadata.
GStreamer before 1.18.4 may perform an out-of-bounds read when handling certain ID3v2 tags (CVE-2021-3522)

Summary

GStreamer before 1.18.4 may perform an out-of-bounds read when handling certain ID3v2 tags (CVE-2021-3522).
Overflows in AVC/HEVC NAL unit length calculations, which would lead to allocating infinite amounts of small memory blocks until OOM and could potentially also lead to memory corruptions.
