Deactivating the vulnerable FLX extension following the most recent gstreamer-plugins-good upgrade for Fedora 24 in order to resolve security vulnerabilities.
Disable insecure FLX plugin (rhbz#1397441)

Summary

GStreamer is a streaming media framework, based on graphs of filters which

operate on media data. Applications using this library can do anything

from real-time sound processing to playing videos, and just about anything

else media-related. Its plugin-based architecture means that new data

types or processing capabilities can be added simply by installing new

plug-ins.

GStreamer Good Plug-ins is a collection of well-supported plug-ins of

good quality and under the LGPL license.
