Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • The vulnerability is triggered via a crafted RTSP server response parsed by GStreamer's RTSP connection parser, resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow. Monitor for anomalous or malformed RTSP responses on RTSP traffic (typically TCP port 554) directed at GStreamer-based clients.
  • The attack vector is network-based: a user must open a crafted RTSP stream with a GStreamer application. Detection should focus on GStreamer processes receiving unexpected or malformed RTSP responses from untrusted servers.
  • ·Affected versions are GStreamer (gstreamer-plugins-base / gstreamer1-plugins-base) before 1.16.0. Debian fixed the issue in package version 1.14.4-2. Ensure deployed GStreamer versions are at or above these fixed versions.
  • ·Red Hat rated this Moderate and marked RHEL 7 packages as 'Will not fix' and RHEL 8 as 'Fix deferred', meaning patched RPMs may not be available for those platforms; compensating controls (e.g., blocking untrusted RTSP sources) should be considered.
