Published: 2015-01-27   Modified: 2015-01-28

Description:
The Gst.MapInfo function in Vala 0.26.0 and 0.26.1 uses an incorrect buffer length declaration for the Gstreamer bindings, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, which trigger a heap-based buffer overflow.

Type:

CWE-119

 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer)
