NVD Description

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

Integer overflow in the vmnc decoder in the gstreamer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via large width and height values, which triggers a buffer overflow.
