Descriptions

The flx_decode_chunks function in gst/flx/gstflxdec.c in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and crash) via a crafted FLIC file.

La función flx_decode_chunks en gst/flx/gstflxdec.c en GStreamer en versiones anteriores a 1.10.2 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (lectura de memoria no válida y caída) a través de un archivo FLIC manipulado.

An invalid memory read access flaw was found in GStreamer's FLC/FLI/FLX media file format decoding plug-in. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application using GStreamer to crash.

GStreamer is a streaming media framework based on graphs of filters which operate on media data. The gstreamer1-plugins-good packages contain a collection of well-supported plug-ins of good quality and under the LGPL license. Security Fix: Multiple flaws were discovered in GStreamer's FLC/FLI/FLX media file format decoding plug-in. A remote attacker could use these flaws to cause an application using GStreamer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
