NVD Description

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

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.
