Detail

Synopsis

A buffer overflow in GStreamer could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service.

Background

GStreamer is an open source multimedia framework.

Description

A buffer overflow vulnerability has been found in the parsing of H.264
formatted video.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted H.264
formatted video using an application linked against GStreamer, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All GStreamer users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/gstreamer-1.4.5"
