Issue date: 2009-02-06

CVE Names: CVE-2009-0398

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated gstreamer-plugins packages that fix one security issue are now

available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.

 

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red

Hat Security Response Team.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64

3. Description:

 

The gstreamer-plugins package contains plug-ins used by the GStreamer

streaming-media framework to support a wide variety of media types.

 

An array indexing error was found in the GStreamer's QuickTime media file

format decoding plug-in. An attacker could create a carefully-crafted

QuickTime media .mov file that would cause an application using GStreamer

to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code if played by a victim.

(CVE-2009-0398)

 

All users of gstreamer-plugins are advised to upgrade to these updated

packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After

installing the update, all applications using GStreamer (such as

nautilus-media) must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.
