Technical details
A logic vulnerability exists in GStreamer's webrtcbin component (within gst-plugins-bad) due to an inverted boolean condition in the _check_sdp_crypto() function in webrtcsdp.c. The code incorrectly rejects Session Description Protocol (SDP) offers that contain the required 'a=fingerprint' attribute while accepting those that lack it. An attacker capable of performing a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack on the signaling channel can exploit this to bypass DTLS certificate fingerprint binding. While the signaling channel is typically protected by TLS, this flaw represents a defense-in-depth failure that weakens protections against media stream interception. A fix is planned for GStreamer version 1.28.5.
Affected products
- Red Hat gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free 1.28.3, 1.28.4
