RedHat: Important: gstreamer-plugins security update
Summary
The gstreamer-plugins package contains plugins used by the GStreamer
streaming-media framework to support a wide variety of media types.
A heap buffer overflow 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-2009-0397)
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 rhythmbox)
must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
Summary
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
