Synopsis
=======
A heap-based buffer overflow in GStreamer Base Plugins might allow
remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Background
=========
A well-groomed and well-maintained collection of GStreamer plug-ins and
elements, spanning the range of possible types of elements one would
want to write for GStreamer.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  media-libs/gst-plugins-base
                                < 1.14.5-r1              >= 1.14.5-r1

Description
==========
It was discovered that GStreamer Base Plugins did not correctly handle
certain malformed RTSP streams.

Impact
=====
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted RTSP
stream with a GStreamer application, possibly resulting in the
execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=========
All GStreamer Base Plugins users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=media-libs/gst-plugins-base-1.14.5-r1"
