gst-plugins-bad1.0: A flaw was found in GStreamer's gst-plugins-bad H.265 video parser
CVE-2026-119727 is fixed in gst-plugins-bad1.0 on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-119727 (version 1.28.1-1), released October 31, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
A flaw was found in GStreamer's gst-plugins-bad H.265 video parser. When parsing a specially crafted H.265 bitstream containing a Screen Content Coding (SCC) extension with certain palette predictor initializer settings, an integer underflow in the upper-bound computation allows the parser to accept an out-of-range value for the number of palette predictor entries. This causes the parser to write beyond the end of a fixed-size array, resulting in memory corruption and an application crash. An attacker can deliver the malformed bitstream as a local file or over a network stream such as HTTP, HLS, DASH, RTSP, RTP, or WebRTC. Successful exploitation requires the application to open or play that content, and is limited to a denial-of-service impact.
