This update for gstreamer-plugins-bad fixes the following issues :

  - Maliciously crafted VMnc (VMware video) streams     (typically contained in .avi files) could cause code     execution during decoding or information leaks due to an     uninitialized buffer (CVE-2016-9445, CVE-2016-9446,     boo#1010829).

This update for gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad fixes the following issues :

  - Maliciously crafted VMnc files (VMware video format)     could lead to crashes (CVE-2016-9445, CVE-2016-9446,     boo#1010829).

  - Maliciously crafted NSF files (NES sound format) could     lead to arbitrary code execution (CESA-2016-0001,     boo#1010514). Therefore for security reasons the NSF     plugin has been removed from the package.

CVE-2016-9445 CVE-2016-9446

Chris Evans discovered that the GStreamer plugin to decode VMware screen capture files allowed the execution of arbitrary code. He also found that an initialized buffer may lead into memory disclosure.

CVE-2016-9447

Chris Evans discovered that the GStreamer 0.10 plugin to decode NES Sound Format files allowed the execution of arbitrary code.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.10.23-7.1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your gst-plugins-bad0.10 packages.
