Official description
GStreamer RealMedia Demuxer Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GStreamer. Interaction with this library is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the implementation.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of video packets. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer.
