Summary

CVE-2025-47183 is a medium-severity Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) vulnerability in Gstreamer Gstreamer. Its CVSS base score is 6.6 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data from Local System (T1005); ranked at the 10th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-16 (Memory Protection) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

In GStreamer through 1.26.1, the isomp4 plugin's qtdemux_parse_tree function may read past the end of a heap buffer while parsing an MP4 file, leading to information disclosure.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1005 Data from Local System Collection
Adversaries may search local system sources, such as file systems, configuration files, local databases, virtual machine files, or process memory, to find files of interest and sensitive data prior to Exfiltration.
Why these techniques?

Heap buffer over-read in GStreamer during MP4 parsing enables disclosure of sensitive data from local system process memory.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Enforces validation of MP4 input structures before qtdemux_parse_tree processes them, directly blocking the out-of-bounds heap read.

prevent

Applies memory-access protections that stop a process from reading past allocated heap buffers during MP4 demuxing.

detect

Requires integrity checks on GStreamer components and media-processing results to surface anomalous memory reads that indicate exploitation.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure-development practices such as bounds checking and memory-safe languages directly prevent out-of-bounds reads.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability scanning and recording can discover instances of out-of-bounds reads after code is deployed.

PR.PS-02 partial match

detects

Security testing in development and acceptance includes fuzzing and static analysis that detect out-of-bounds read defects before release.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
detects

Logging can record evidence of an out-of-bounds read but does not prevent the weakness itself.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and bounds checking that directly prevent out-of-bounds reads.

prevents

Application security requirements include explicit bounds and memory-safety specifications that mitigate buffer over-reads.

prevents

Secure system architecture and engineering principles require memory-safe design patterns and runtime protections against out-of-bounds access.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe pointer arithmetic and mandate bounds-checked reads, eliminating CWE-125.
