critical Nessus Plugin ID 290002
Synopsis
The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2017-2179:01 advisory.clutter-gst2 Clutter is an open source software library for creating fast, visually rich and animated graphical user interfaces.
Clutter GStreamer enables the use of GStreamer with Clutter.
gnome-video-effects A collection of GStreamer effects to be used in different GNOME Modules.
gstreamer1 GStreamer is a streaming media framework, based on graphs of filters which operate on media data. Applications using this library can do anything from real-time sound processing to playing videos, and just about anything else media-related. Its plugin-based architecture means that new data types or processing capabilities can be added simply by installing new plugins.
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free GStreamer is a streaming media framework, based on graphs of elements which operate on media data.
This package contains plug-ins that aren't tested well enough, or the code is not of good enough quality.
gstreamer1-plugins-base GStreamer is a streaming media framework, based on graphs of filters which operate on media data. Applications using this library can do anything from real-time sound processing to playing videos, and just about anything else media-related. Its plugin-based architecture means that new data types or processing capabilities can be added simply by installing new plug-ins.
This package contains a set of well-maintained base plug-ins.
gstreamer1-plugins-good GStreamer is a streaming media framework, based on graphs of filters which operate on media data. Applications using this library can do anything from real-time sound processing to playing videos, and just about anything else media-related. Its plugin-based architecture means that new data types or processing capabilities can be added simply by installing new plugins.
GStreamer Good Plugins is a collection of well-supported plugins of good quality and under the LGPL license.

orc Orc is a library and set of tools for compiling and executing very simple programs that operate on arrays of data. The language is a generic assembly language that represents many of the features available in SIMD architectures, including saturated addition and subtraction, and many arithmetic operations.
CVE-2016-1019 Adobe Flash Player 21.0.0.197 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, as exploited in the wild in April 2016.
CVE-2016-9446 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-2016-9810 The gst_decode_chain_free_internal function in the flxdex decoder in gst-plugins-good in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and crash) via an invalid file, which triggers an incorrect unref call.
CVE-2016-9811 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-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 video file.
CVE-2017-5838 The gst_date_time_new_from_iso8601_string function in gst/gstdatetime.c in GStreamer before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read) via a malformed datetime string.
CVE-2017-5839 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-2017-5840 The qtdemux_parse_samples 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 heap read) via vectors involving the current stts index.
CVE-2017-5841 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 (out-of-bounds heap read) via vectors involving ncdt tags.
CVE-2017-5842 The html_context_handle_element function in gst/subparse/samiparse.c in gst-plugins-base in GStreamer before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted SMI file, as demonstrated by OneNote_Manager.smi.
CVE-2017-5843 Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in the (1) gst_mini_object_unref, (2) gst_tag_list_unref, and (3) gst_mxf_demux_update_essence_tracks functions in GStreamer before 1.10.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors involving stream tags, as demonstrated by 02785736.mxf.
CVE-2017-5844 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-2017-5845 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-2017-5848 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.
