CVE-2026-52720 Details
Description
A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was found in GStreamer's librfb (RFB/VNC client). The rectangle bounds check incorrectly validates area rather than individual dimensions, allowing a malicious VNC server to send a rectangle that extends beyond the framebuffer. A remote attacker could set up a malicious VNC server and trick a user into connecting, resulting in an out-of-bounds heap write that could lead to code execution or a crash.
A heap buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in GStreamer's librfb component, which serves as an RFB/VNC client. The issue arises from an incorrect validation of rectangle bounds, allowing a malicious VNC server to send data that extends beyond the framebuffer limits. This vulnerability could be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a crash by manipulating the VNC server's rectangle dimensions.
Users are advised to update to GStreamer version 1.28.4 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
