The html_context_handle_element function in gst/subparse/samiparse.c in gst-plugins-base in GStreamer before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted SMI file, as demonstrated by OneNote_Manager.smi.

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2017-2060 advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

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)

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-plugins-base fixes the following security issues :

  - A crafted AVI file could have caused a floating point     exception leading to DoS (bsc#1024076, CVE-2017-5837,     bsc#1024079, CVE-2017-5844)

  - A crafted AVI file could have caused a stack overflow     leading to DoS (bsc#1024047, CVE-2017-5839)

  - A crafted SAMI subtitle file could have caused an     invalid memory access possibly leading to DoS or     corruption (bsc#1024041, CVE-2017-5842)
