Summary

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 ships the gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free package, which contains the GStreamer H.266/VVC parser affected by this flaw. An integer overflow while parsing profile, tier, and level fields in a malformed H.266 file or stream leads to a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-787). An attacker who supplies such a file or stream can crash the application and may be able to execute code in its context, and user interaction is required.

An attacker could cause an application to crash and may be able to execute code in the context of the affected application.
