Description

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

- The windows_icon_typefind function in gst-plugins-base in GStreamer before 1.10.2, when G_SLICE is set to
always-malloc, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted ico
file. (CVE-2016-9811)

- The gst_riff_create_audio_caps function in gst-libs/gst/riff/riff-media.c in gst-plugins-base in GStreamer

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 does not properly limit recursion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (stack overflow and crash) via vectors involving nested WAVEFORMATEX. (CVE-2017-5839)

- The html_context_handle_element function in gst/subparse/samiparse.c in gst-plugins-base in GStreamer

file, as demonstrated by OneNote_Manager.smi. (CVE-2017-5842)

- The gst_riff_create_audio_caps function in gst-libs/gst/riff/riff-media.c in gst-plugins-base in GStreamer
