CVE-2026-18296 is a heap-based buffer overflow in GStreamer MRF file parsing. The flaw results from insufficient validation of attacker-controlled data length before copying data into a heap buffer. Processing a crafted MRF media file can corrupt heap memory and permit code execution in the context of the process using the vulnerable GStreamer component.
