The gst_asf_demux_process_ext_stream_props function in gst/asfdemux/gstasfdemux.c in gst-plugins-ugly in GStreamer before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and crash) via vectors related to the number of languages in a video file.

Two memory management issues were found in the asfdemux element of the GStreamer 'ugly' plugin collection, which can be triggered via a maliciously crafted file.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 0.10.19-2.1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your gst-plugins-ugly0.10 packages.
