Descriptions

The gst_decode_chain_free_internal function in the flxdex decoder in gst-plugins-good in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and crash) via an invalid file, which triggers an incorrect unref call.

La función gst_decode_chain_free_internal en el decodificador flxdex en gst-plugins-good 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 no válido, lo que desencadena una llamada unref incorrecta .

GStreamer is a streaming media framework based on graphs of filters which operate on media data. The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: clutter-gst2, gnome-video-effects, gstreamer1, gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free, gstreamer1-plugins-base, gstreamer1-plugins-good, orc. Security Fix: Multiple flaws were found in gstreamer1, gstreamer1-plugins-base, gstreamer1-plugins-good, and gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free packages. An attacker could potentially use these flaws to crash applications which use the GStreamer framework.
