Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9634)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Heap-based buffer overflow in the flx_decode_delta_fli function in gst/flx/gstflxdec.c in the FLIC decoder in GStreamer before 1.10.2. A remote attacker can use the start_line parameter. to trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9635)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the flx_decode_delta_fli function in gst/flx/gstflxdec.c in the FLIC decoder in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) by providing a 'skip count' that goes beyond initialized buffer.


3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9636)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the flx_decode_delta_fli function in gst/flx/gstflxdec.c in the FLIC decoder in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) by providing a 'write count' that goes beyond the initialized buffer.


4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9808)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The FLIC decoder in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and crash) via a crafted series of skip and count pairs.
