# GStreamer: crafted MPEG program stream file can crash media playback

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-125706 (this .md is for agents)

A flaw in GStreamer's gst-plugins-bad MPEG Program Stream demuxer and the resindvd DVD plugin lets a malformed file trigger an out-of-bounds read. The result is a crash of the application that opens the file, a denial of service.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## From the sources

A flaw was found in GStreamer's gst-plugins-bad MPEG Program Stream demuxer and resindvd DVD-playback plugin. The PES header parsers do not adequately check remaining data before reading timestamps and optional header fields. Opening a specially crafted MPEG Program Stream file can cause an out-of-bounds read and potentially crash the application, resulting in a denial of service.
