The vmnc decoder in the gstreamer does not initialize the render canvas, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information as demonstrated by thumbnailing a simple 1 frame vmnc movie that does not draw to the allocated render canvas.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability that has been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - gstreamer-plugins-bad-free: Missing initialization of allocated heap memory leads to information leak     (CVE-2016-9446)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - gstreamer: buffer overflow in gst_h264_slice_parse_dec_ref_pic_marking (CVE-2021-3185)

  - The vmnc decoder in the gstreamer does not initialize the render canvas, which allows remote attackers to     obtain sensitive information as demonstrated by thumbnailing a simple 1 frame vmnc movie that does not     draw to the allocated render canvas. (CVE-2016-9446)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

According to the versions of the gstreamer packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - 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. (CVE-2016-9446,     CVE-2016-9810, CVE-2016-9811, CVE-2016-10198,     CVE-2016-10199, CVE-2017-5837, CVE-2017-5838,     CVE-2017-5839, CVE-2017-5840, CVE-2017-5841,     CVE-2017-5842, CVE-2017-5843, CVE-2017-5844,     CVE-2017-5845, CVE-2017-5848)

An update is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

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 (2.0.18), gnome-video-effects (0.4.3), gstreamer1 (1.10.4), gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free (1.10.4), gstreamer1-plugins-base (1.10.4), gstreamer1-plugins-good (1.10.4), orc (0.4.26).

Security Fix(es) :

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201705-10 (GStreamer plug-ins: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in various GStreamer       plug-ins. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system using a       GStreamer plug-in to process a specially crafted file, resulting in the       execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

This update for gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad fixes the following issues :

This update for gstreamer-plugins-bad fixes the following issues :

  - Maliciously crafted VMnc (VMware video) streams     (typically contained in .avi files) could cause code     execution during decoding or information leaks due to an     uninitialized buffer (CVE-2016-9445, CVE-2016-9446,     boo#1010829).

This update for gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad fixes the following issues :

  - Maliciously crafted VMnc files (VMware video format)     could lead to crashes (CVE-2016-9445, CVE-2016-9446,     boo#1010829).

  - Maliciously crafted NSF files (NES sound format) could     lead to arbitrary code execution (CESA-2016-0001,     boo#1010514). Therefore for security reasons the NSF     plugin has been removed from the package.

CVE-2016-9445 CVE-2016-9446

Chris Evans discovered that the GStreamer plugin to decode VMware screen capture files allowed the execution of arbitrary code. He also found that an initialized buffer may lead into memory disclosure.

CVE-2016-9447

Chris Evans discovered that the GStreamer 0.10 plugin to decode NES Sound Format files allowed the execution of arbitrary code.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.10.23-7.1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your gst-plugins-bad0.10 packages.
