Descriptions

The _parse_pat function in the mpegts parser in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via a crafted file.

La función _parse_pat en el intérprete mpegts en GStreamer en versiones anteriores a 1.10.2 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero NULL y caída) a través de un archivo manipulado.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in GStreamer's MPEG-TS 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.
