CVE-2026-125040CVE-2026-125040

Description

A flaw was found in the SRT and WebVTT subtitle parser in GStreamer's gst-plugins-base. While sanitizing inline subtitle markup, the parser repeatedly searches the remaining text with unanchored regular expressions. A crafted subtitle cue with a long line of unmatched markup-like text can force quadratic CPU use and make a GStreamer-based application unresponsive.
