Descriptions

Off-by-one error in the gst_h264_parse_set_caps function in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.

Error por un paso en la función gst_h264_parse_set_caps en GStreamer en versiones anteriores a 1.10.2 permite a atacantes remotos tener un impacto no especificado a través de un archivo manipulado, lo que desencadena una lectura fuera de límites.

An out-of-bounds heap read flaw was found in GStreamer's H.264 parser. 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-bad-free package contains a collection of plug-ins for GStreamer. Security Fix: An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in GStreamer's VMware VMnc video file format decoding plug-in. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application using GStreamer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
