GStreamer Good Plug-ins gst_qtp_trak_handler() code execution
| gstreamer-gstqtptrakhandler-code-exec (48181) |  High Risk |
Description:
GStreamer Good Plug-ins could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an array indexing error in the gst_qtp_trak_handler() function in qtdemux.c when parsing the stss atom. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted QuickTime media file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory and possibly execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.
Note: Other applications that use GStreamer, such as Songbird, Totem and Amarok may also be affected by this vulnerability.
