The gst_riff_create_audio_caps function in gst-libs/gst/riff/riff-media.c in gst-plugins-base in GStreamer before 1.10.3 does not properly limit recursion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack overflow and crash) via vectors…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.48%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
