Oracle Linux: CVE-2024-47835: ELSA-2025-7243: gstreamer1-plugins-base security update (MODERATE)

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. A null pointer dereference vulnerability has been detected in the parse_lrc function within gstsubparse.c. The parse_lrc function calls strchr() to find the character ']' in the string line. The pointer returned by this call is then passed to g_strdup(). However, if the string line does not contain the character ']', strchr() returns NULL, and a call to g_strdup(start + 1) leads to a null pointer dereference. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.10.
A flaw was found in the GStreamer library. A NULL-pointer dereference in the LRC subtitle parser can cause crashes for certain input files, potentially allowing a malicious actor to trigger an application crash.
