Updated gstreamer-plugins-base packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
GStreamer is a streaming media framework based on graphs of filters which operate on media data. GStreamer Base Plug-ins is a collection of well-maintained base plug-ins.
