Debian DLA-727-1 : gst-plugins-good0.10 security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 95413

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Chris Evans discovered that the GStreamer 0.10 plugin used to decode files in the FLIC format allowed execution of arbitrary code. Further details can be found in his advisory at https://scarybeastsecurity.blogspot.de/2016/11/0day-exploit-advancing- exploitati on.html

This update removes the insecure FLIC file format plugin.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.10.31-3+nmu1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your gst-plugins-good0.10 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
