Details
A stack overflow in the H.266 video bitstream parser when parsing pic_timing
SEIs can cause crashes for certain input files, and could possibly also allow
code execution through stack manipulation.
Impact
It is possible for a malicious third party to trigger a buffer overflow
that can result in a crash of the application and possibly also allow code
execution through stack manipulation.
Solution
The gst-plugins-bad 1.28.1 release addresses the issue. People using older
versions of GStreamer should apply the patch and recompile.
