Last modified

CVE-2014-8154 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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.. EPSS estimates a 2.80% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
