Descriptions

The gst_mpegts_section_new function in the mpegts decoder in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a too small section.

La función gst_mpegts_section_new en el decodificador mpegts en GStreamer en versiones anteriores a 1.10.2 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de los límites) a través de una sección demasiado pequeña.

An out-of-bounds heap read flaw was found in GStreamer's MPEG-TS decoder. 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.
