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.

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_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)

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

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.
