Description

The Gst.MapInfo function in Vala 0.26.0 and 0.26.1 uses an incorrect buffer length declaration for the Gstreamer bindings, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, which trigger a heap-based buffer overflow.

Affected configurations

• gnome vala 0.26.0 • gnome vala 0.26.1 • opensuse opensuse 13.2
