Multiple vulnerabilities in multiple GStreamer plug-ins might allow for the execution of arbitrary code.

Announced: 2009-07-12
Revised: 2009-07-12
Access: remote
Bugs: #256096 #261594 #272972
Advisory: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200907-11

Affected packages

Package	Arch	Vulnerable	Unaffected
media-libs/gst-plugins-base	*	< 0.10.22	>= 0.10.22
media-libs/gst-plugins-good	*	< 0.10.14	>= 0.10.14
media-plugins/gst-plugins-libpng	*	< 0.10.14-r1	>= 0.10.14-r1

Background

The GStreamer plug-ins provide decoders to the GStreamer open source media framework.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in several GStreamer plug-ins:

Tobias Klein reported two heap-based buffer overflows and an array index error in the qtdemux_parse_samples() function in gst-plugins-good when processing a QuickTime media .mov file (CVE-2009-0386, CVE-2009-0387, CVE-2009-0397).
Thomas Hoger of the Red Hat Security Response Team reported an integer overflow that can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow in the gst_vorbis_tag_add_coverart() function in gst-plugins-base when processing COVERART tags (CVE-2009-0586).
Tielei Wang of ICST-ERCIS, Peking University reported multiple integer overflows leading to buffer overflows in gst-plugins-libpng when processing a PNG file (CVE-2009-1932).

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.

Resolution

All gst-plugins-good users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/gst-plugins-good-0.10.14"

All gst-plugins-base users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/gst-plugins-base-0.10.22"

All gst-plugins-libpng users should upgrade to the latest version:
