CVE-2009-0586: Canonical Ubuntu Linux

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 5.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Integer overflow in the gst_vorbis_tag_add_coverart function (gst-libs/gst/tag/gstvorbistag.c) in vorbistag in gst-plugins-base (aka gstreamer-plugins-base) before 0.10.23 in GStreamer allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted COVERART tag that is converted from a base64 representation, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Affected products

  • Canonical Ubuntu Linux: version 8.10 only
  • Gstreamer Gstreamer: before 0.10.23 (fixed in 0.10.23)
