Impact

This is a moderate-severity denial-of-service issue (CVSS 6.5, A:H only, with C:N/I:N), not a top-tier emergency. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw, but the UI:R requirement means a victim must open or stream the malicious FLV, which meaningfully reduces real-world exploitability versus a fully remote server-side bug. CWE-617 (reachable assertion) and the description both point to a crash/abort, not memory-corruption-to-code-execution, so impact is confined to availability. No CISA KEV listing is present in the input (not actively exploited per available data), and no EPSS score was provided, so widespread automated exploitation cannot be inferred. No public exploit reference is present - only vendor advisories and the upstream fix patch. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month,' consistent with a real but non-urgent patch priority rather than act_now/emergency. Net: a legitimate issue to schedule for patching, but the user-interaction gate and DoS-only impact keep it below critical-priority.

This Month Plan within 30 days. Why: MEDIUM severity (CVSS 4.0-6.9).

AnalysisAIv1 – Nov 03, 2026

GStreamer's gst-plugins-good FLV demuxer can be driven into an assertion failure or process crash by malformed or truncated FLV streams carrying enhanced audio/video tags, producing a denial of service in applications that open or stream the file. The assessed CVSS score is 6.5 with availability-only impact and UI:R, and affected deployments include gst-plugins-good plus Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, 8, 9, and 10. No CISA KEV entry or public exploit code was identified in the supplied data, and the vuln.today priority label is this_month.

RemediationAI

Apply the upstream fix referenced by GStreamer security advisory SA-2026-0020 and GitLab merge request 11244.patch; patch status is upstream fix available (PR/commit), with a released patched version not independently confirmed in the supplied data. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, 8, 9, and 10, use the updated gst-plugins-good packages published through Red Hat's advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-119843 and track Bugzilla 2564182 for errata details. No vendor-specific workaround is stated in the supplied data, so exposure should be reduced by relying on the patched packages rather than untrusted FLV processing.

Technical ContextAI · show details

GStreamer is a multimedia framework whose gst-plugins-good package includes the FLV demuxer used to parse Flash Video container tags. The weakness is CWE-617 (Reachable Assertion): the demuxer does not adequately validate buffer sizes and data availability when handling enhanced audio and video tags, so malformed or truncated FLV input can reach an assertion failure instead of being rejected cleanly. CPE data identify gstreamer_project:gst-plugins-good and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, 8, 9, and 10 as affected product families, but the supplied strings do not give exact version ranges. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H describes a remotely supplied file or stream that requires user interaction, with availability-only impact; the supplied references point to GitLab merge request 11244.patch and GStreamer advisory SA-2026-0020 as the upstream fix path.

DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw was found in GStreamer's gst-plugins-good package. The FLV media demuxer does not properly validate buffer sizes and data availability when processing enhanced audio and video tags in malformed or truncated FLV streams. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted FLV media file that, when opened or streamed by a GStreamer-based application, triggers an assertion failure or a process crash, leading to denial of service.
