Debian DLA-827-1 : gst-plugins-base0.10 security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 97232

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that it is possible to trigger a floating point exception in GStreamer via specially crafted files, causing a denial of service.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.10.36-1.1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your gst-plugins-base0.10 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.
