    (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)

  - The qtdemux_tag_add_str_full function in gst/isomp4/qtdemux.c in gst-plugins-good in GStreamer before     1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) via a crafted     tag value. (CVE-2016-10199)

  - 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 gst_riff_create_audio_caps function in gst-libs/gst/riff/riff-media.c in gst-plugins-base in GStreamer     before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (floating point exception and crash)     via a crafted video file. (CVE-2017-5837)

  - The gst_riff_create_audio_caps function in gst-libs/gst/riff/riff-media.c in gst-plugins-base in GStreamer     before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (floating point exception and crash)     via a crafted ASF file. (CVE-2017-5844)

  - The gst_avi_demux_parse_ncdt function in gst/avi/gstavidemux.c in gst-plugins-good in GStreamer before     1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and crash) via a ncdt     sub-tag that goes behind the surrounding tag. (CVE-2017-5845)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the versions of the gstreamer packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple flaws were found in gstreamer1,     gstreamer1-plugins-base, gstreamer1-plugins-good, and     gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free packages. An attacker could     potentially use these flaws to crash applications which     use the GStreamer framework.

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.
