This bulletin was written by Vigil@nce : https://vigilance.fr/offer
SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY
An attacker can force a read at an invalid address via FLIC of
GStreamer Plugin, in order to trigger a denial of service, or to
obtain sensitive information.
Impacted products: openSUSE, openSUSE Leap, SUSE Linux Enterprise
Desktop, SLES.
Severity: 2/4.
Creation date: 29/12/2016.
DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The GStreamer Plugin product offers a web service.
However, it tries to read a memory area located outside the
expected range, which triggers a fatal error, or leads to the
disclosure of a memory fragment.
An attacker can therefore force a read at an invalid address via
FLIC of GStreamer Plugin, in order to trigger a denial of service,
or to obtain sensitive information.
