The gst_avi_demux_parse_ncdt function in gst/avi/gstavidemux.c in gst-plugins-good in GStreamer before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and crash) via a ncdt sub-tag that "goes behind" the surrounding tag.

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

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security 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-good fixes the following issues :

  - A crafted aac audio file could have caused an invalid     read and thus corruption or denial of service     (bsc#1024014, CVE-2016-10198)

  - A crafted mp4 file could have caused an invalid read and     thus corruption or denial of service (bsc#1024017,     CVE-2016-10199)

  - A crafted avi file could have caused an invalid read and     thus corruption or denial of service (bsc#1024034,     CVE-2017-5840)

  - A crafted AVI file with metadata tag entries (ncdt)     could have caused invalid read access and thus     corruption or denial of service (bsc#1024030,     CVE-2017-5841)

  - A crafted avi file could have caused an invalid read     access resulting in denial of service (bsc#1024062,     CVE-2017-5845)
