CVE-2016-9808
HighSummary
The FLIC decoder in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and crash) via a crafted series of skip and count pairs.
Risk Assessment
Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to cause service outages, potentially leading to downtime for applications using GStreamer.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade GStreamer to version 1.10.2 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.
Other vulnerabilities in GStreamer
See all- CVE-2026-17072Low
In GStreamer's gst-plugins-good, a heap-based out-of-bounds read of 4 bytes occurs when parsing FLAC audio stream headers embedded in Matroska or WebM container files. A boundary check does not account for the full size of the copied data, allowing a small read past the end of the allocated buffer. An attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious Matroska or WebM file and tricking a user into opening it.
- CVE-2017-5843High
Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in the gst_mini_object_unref, gst_tag_list_unref, and gst_mxf_demux_update_essence_tracks functions in GStreamer before 1.10.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors involving stream tags.
- CVE-2017-5840High
The qtdemux_parse_samples function in gst/isomp4/qtdemux.c in GStreamer before version 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read) via vectors involving the current stts index.
- CVE-2017-5838High
The gst_date_time_new_from_iso8601_string function in GStreamer before version 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a malformed datetime string, leading to an out-of-bounds heap read.
- CVE-2016-9447High
The ROM mappings in the NSF decoder in gstreamer 0.10.x allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted NSF music file.
- CVE-2016-9446High
The vmnc decoder in gstreamer does not initialize the render canvas, allowing remote attackers to obtain sensitive information. This is demonstrated by thumbnailing a simple 1 frame vmnc movie that does not draw to the allocated render canvas.
- CVE-2016-9445High
Integer overflow in the vmnc decoder in gstreamer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via large width and height values, which triggers a buffer overflow.
- CVE-2016-9809High
Off-by-one error in the gst_h264_parse_set_caps function in GStreamer before version 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted file, leading to an out-of-bounds read.
- CVE-2026-111183Critical
The rtpL16depay element in GStreamer has a heap-based buffer overflow due to missing validation of user-supplied data length before copying. This allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
- CVE-2026-119729Medium
A flaw was found in GStreamer. An integer overflow vulnerability in the AV1 LEB128 variable-length integer parser allows a remote attacker to cause a crash in applications that process AV1 media content. By crafting a malformed AV1 bitstream containing an invalid LEB128-encoded value, an attacker can cause integer overflow in the parser, resulting in incorrect length values being used during stream processing, which can lead to a denial of service.
