NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel-docs package and not the gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel-docs package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The gst_decode_chain_free_internal function in the flxdex decoder in gst-plugins-good in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and crash) via an invalid file, which triggers an incorrect unref call.
