Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3135-2
November 28, 2016
gst-plugins-good0.10, gst-plugins-good1.0 vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 16.10
– Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Summary:
GStreamer could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened
a specially crafted file.
Software Description:
– gst-plugins-good1.0: GStreamer plugins
– gst-plugins-good0.10: GStreamer plugins
Details:
USN-3135-1 fixed a vulnerability in GStreamer Good Plugins. The original
security fix was incomplete. This update fixes the problem.
Original advisory details:
Chris Evans discovered that GStreamer Good Plugins did not correctly handle
malformed FLC movie files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted
FLC movie file with a GStreamer application, an attacker could cause a
denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user invoking the program.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 16.10:
gstreamer1.0-plugins-good 1.8.3-1ubuntu1.2
