The gst_mpegts_section_new function in the mpegts decoder in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a too small section.

An update for gstreamer1-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 gstreamer1-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)

* Multiple flaws were discovered in GStreamer's H.264 and MPEG-TS plug-ins. A remote attacker could use these flaws to cause an application using GStreamer to crash. (CVE-2016-9809, CVE-2016-9812, CVE-2016-9813)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201705-10 (GStreamer plug-ins: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in various GStreamer       plug-ins. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system using a       GStreamer plug-in to process a specially crafted file, resulting in the       execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

According to the versions of the gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - 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)

  - Multiple flaws were discovered in GStreamer's H.264 and     MPEG-TS plug-ins. A remote attacker could use these     flaws to cause an application using GStreamer to crash.
    (CVE-2016-9809, CVE-2016-9812, CVE-2016-9813)

Hanno Boeck discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the GStreamer media framework and its codecs and demuxers, which may result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed media file is opened.

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

  - CVE-2016-9809: Off by one read in     gst_h264_parse_set_caps() (bsc#1013659).

  - CVE-2016-9812: Out of bounds read in     gst_mpegts_section_new (bsc#1013678).

  - CVE-2016-9813: mpegts parser: NULL pointer deref in
    _parse_pat (bsc#1013680).

This update for gstreamer-plugins-bad fixes the following security issues, which would allow attackers able to submit media files for indexing to cause code execution or crashes :

  - Check an integer overflow (CVE-2016-9445) and initialize     a buffer (CVE-2016-9446) in vmncdec. (bsc#1010829)

  - CVE-2016-9809: Ensure codec_data has the right size when     reading number of SPS (bsc#1013659).

  - CVE-2016-9812: Add more section size checks     (bsc#1013678).
