3. Description:

GStreamer is a streaming media framework based on graphs of filters which
operate on media data. GStreamer Base Plug-ins is a collection of
well-maintained base plug-ins.

An integer overflow flaw which caused a heap-based buffer overflow was
discovered in the Vorbis comment tags reader. An attacker could create a
carefully-crafted Vorbis file that would cause an application using
GStreamer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code if opened by a
victim. (CVE-2009-0586)

All users of gstreamer-plugins-base are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After
installing this update, all applications using GStreamer (such as Totem or
Rhythmbox) must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

4. 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
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
