A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its
derivatives:

  • Ubuntu 16.10
  • Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary

GStreamer could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it
opened a specially crafted file.

Software description

  • gst-plugins-good0.10
    – GStreamer plugins

  • gst-plugins-good1.0
    – GStreamer plugins

Details

Chris Evans discovered that GStreamer Good Plugins did not correctly handle
malformed FLC movie files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted
FLC movie file with a GStreamer application, an attacker could cause a
denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user invoking the program.

Ubuntu 16.10:
gstreamer1.0-plugins-good
