How to fix?

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gst-plugins-good1.0 package and not the gst-plugins-good1.0 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:17.04 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.
