CVE-2026-3082

Code execution via oversized JPEG Huffman table

Published Mar 13, 2026 · Updated Mar 13, 2026

Heap buffer overflow in GStreamer gst-plugins-bad before 1.28.1 allows remote attackers to execute code through a crafted JPEG file. The JPEG parser copies attacker-controlled Huffman-table data into a fixed-length heap storage buffer without first checking that the table length fits. Exploitation requires an application to process untrusted JPEG content; successful heap manipulation executes code in that application's process, while a failed attempt can crash it.
