Title:RHSA-2017:0018: gstreamer-plugins-bad-free security update (Moderate)
Description:GStreamer is a streaming media framework based on graphs of filters which operate on media data. The gstreamer-plugins-bad-free package contains a collection of plug-ins for GStreamer.

Security Fix(es):

  • 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. (CVE-2016-9445)

  • A memory corruption flaw was found in GStreamer's Nintendo NSF music 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. (CVE-2016-9447)

  • 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. (CVE-2016-9809)

    Note: This update removes the vulnerable Nintendo NSF plug-in.
