Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS : GStreamer Base Plugins vulnerability (USN-3958-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 124408

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that GStreamer Base Plugins did not correctly handle certain malformed RTSP streams. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted RTSP stream with a GStreamer application, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
