Application crash via overflowing sample-table allocation
Published Dec 11, 2024 · Updated Nov 3, 2025
Out-of-bounds write in GStreamer gst-plugins-good before 1.24.10 allows local users to crash applications via a crafted MP4 or MOV file. In isomp4/qtdemux.c, the sample-table parser adds an input-controlled samples_count to stream->n_samples without checking for integer overflow, so g_try_renew allocates too few QtDemuxSample entries before the loop writes samples_count entries. Processing a malicious file is required; the overwrite corrupts process memory, terminates the consuming application, and can enable code execution in that process.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
