Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Division by zero

EUVDB-ID: #VU32104

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5837

CWE-ID: CWE-369 - Divide By Zero

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The gst_riff_create_audio_caps function in gst-libs/gst/riff/riff-media.c in gst-plugins-base in GStreamer before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (floating point exception and crash) via a crafted video file.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.

Vulnerable software versions

Fedora: 25

mingw-gstreamer1-plugins-base: before 1.10.3-1.fc25

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-a56d78acb8


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Uncontrolled Recursion

EUVDB-ID: #VU32105

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5839

CWE-ID: CWE-674 - Uncontrolled Recursion

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The gst_riff_create_audio_caps function in gst-libs/gst/riff/riff-media.c in gst-plugins-base in GStreamer before 1.10.3 does not properly limit recursion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack overflow and crash) via vectors involving nested WAVEFORMATEX.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
