Scientific Linux Security Update : gstreamer-plugins-good on SL5.x i386/x86_64

high Nessus Plugin ID 60530

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Multiple heap buffer overflows and an array indexing error were found in the GStreamer's QuickTime media file format decoding plugin. An attacker could create a carefully-crafted QuickTime media .mov file that would cause an application using GStreamer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code if played by a victim.
(CVE-2009-0386, CVE-2009-0387, CVE-2009-0397)

After installing the update, all applications using GStreamer (such as totem or rhythmbox) must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Solution

Update the affected gstreamer-plugins-good and / or gstreamer-plugins-good-devel packages.
