CVE-2026-18297

GStreamer OGG File Parsing Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GStreamer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of OGG files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-29584.

Summary		(es) Vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código por desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en el análisis de archivos OGG de GStreamer. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario en instalaciones afectadas de GStreamer. Se requiere interacción del usuario para explotar esta vulnerabilidad, ya que el objetivo debe visitar una página maliciosa o abrir un archivo malicioso. La falla específica reside en el análisis de archivos OGG. El problema se debe a la falta de validación adecuada de la longitud de los datos proporcionados por el usuario antes de copiarlos a un búfer basado en pila. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del proceso actual. Fue ZDI-CAN-29584.
