RHEL 7 : gstreamer-plugins-good (RHSA-2017:0019)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 96311

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for gstreamer-plugins-good.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:0019 advisory.

GStreamer is a streaming media framework based on graphs of filters which operate on media data. The gstreamer-plugins-good packages contain a collection of well-supported plug-ins of good quality and under the LGPL license.

Security Fix(es):

* Multiple flaws were discovered in GStreamer's FLC/FLI/FLX media file format decoding plug-in. A remote attacker could use these flaws to cause an application using GStreamer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2016-9634, CVE-2016-9635, CVE-2016-9636, CVE-2016-9808)

* An invalid memory read access flaw was found in GStreamer's FLC/FLI/FLX media file format decoding plug- in. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application using GStreamer to crash.
(CVE-2016-9807)

Note: This update removes the vulnerable FLC/FLI/FLX plug-in.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise 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.

Solution

Update the RHEL gstreamer-plugins-good package based on the guidance in RHSA-2017:0019.
