The ROM mappings in the NSF decoder in gstreamer 0.10.x allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted NSF music file.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - gstreamer-plugins-bad-free: Off-by-one read in gst_h264_parse_set_caps (CVE-2016-9809)

  - Integer overflow in the vmnc decoder in the gstreamer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (crash) via large width and height values, which triggers a buffer overflow. (CVE-2016-9445)

  - The vmnc decoder in the gstreamer does not initialize the render canvas, which allows remote attackers to     obtain sensitive information as demonstrated by thumbnailing a simple 1 frame vmnc movie that does not     draw to the allocated render canvas. (CVE-2016-9446)

  - The ROM mappings in the NSF decoder in gstreamer 0.10.x allow remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read or write) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted NSF music file.
    (CVE-2016-9447)

  - Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in the (1) gst_mini_object_unref, (2) gst_tag_list_unref, and (3)     gst_mxf_demux_update_essence_tracks functions in GStreamer before 1.10.3 allow remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (crash) via vectors involving stream tags, as demonstrated by 02785736.mxf.
    (CVE-2017-5843)

  - The gst_ps_demux_parse_psm function in gst/mpegdemux/gstmpegdemux.c in gst-plugins-bad in GStreamer allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and crash) via vectors involving PSM     parsing. (CVE-2017-5848)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

An update for gstreamer-plugins-bad-free is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

GStreamer is a streaming media framework based on graphs of filters which operate on media data. The gstreamer-plugins-bad-free package contains a collection of plug-ins for GStreamer.

Security Fix(es) :

* An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in GStreamer's VMware VMnc video file format decoding plug-in. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application using GStreamer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2016-9445)

* A memory corruption flaw was found in GStreamer's Nintendo NSF music file format decoding plug-in. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application using GStreamer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2016-9447)

* An out-of-bounds heap read flaw was found in GStreamer's H.264 parser. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application using GStreamer to crash. (CVE-2016-9809)

Note: This update removes the vulnerable Nintendo NSF plug-in.

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.
