A significant enhancement to the gstreamer plugin addresses urgent vulnerabilities to safeguard openSUSE installations robustly.
An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available

Description

This update for gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad fixes the following issues:

- Maliciously crafted VMnc files (VMWare video format) could lead to

crashes (CVE-2016-9445, CVE-2016-9446, boo#1010829).

- Maliciously crafted NSF files (NES sound format) could lead to arbitrary

code execution (CESA-2016-0001, boo#1010514). Therefore for security

reasons the NSF plugin has been removed from the package.
