The gst_asf_demux_process_ext_stream_props function in gst/asfdemux/gstasfdemux.c in gst-plugins-ugly in GStreamer before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and crash) via vectors related to the number of languages in a video file.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The gst_asf_demux_process_ext_stream_props function in gst/asfdemux/gstasfdemux.c in gst-plugins-ugly in     GStreamer before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and     crash) via vectors related to the number of languages in a video file. (CVE-2017-5846)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - The gst_asf_demux_process_ext_stream_props function in gst/asfdemux/gstasfdemux.c in gst-plugins-ugly in
    GStreamer before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and
    crash) via vectors related to the number of languages in a video file. (CVE-2017-5846)

  - The gst_asf_demux_process_ext_content_desc function in gst/asfdemux/gstasfdemux.c in gst-plugins-ugly in
    GStreamer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read) via vectors
    involving extended content descriptors. (CVE-2017-5847)

Two memory management issues were found in the asfdemux element of the GStreamer 'ugly' plugin collection, which can be triggered via a maliciously crafted file.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 0.10.19-2.1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your gst-plugins-ugly0.10 packages.

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.

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.

Two memory management issues were found in the asfdemux element of the GStreamer 'ugly' plugin collection, which can be triggered via a maliciously crafted file.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.10.19-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your gst-plugins-ugly0.10 packages.
