Synopsis:	Important: gstreamer-plugins-good security update
Issue date:	2009-02-06
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-0386 CVE-2009-0387 CVE-2009-0397

Multiple heap buffer overflows and an array indexing error were found in
the GStreamer's QuickTime media file format decoding plugin. An attacker
could create a carefully-crafted QuickTime media.mov file that would
cause an application using GStreamer to crash or, potentially, execute
arbitrary code if played by a victim. (CVE-2009-0386, CVE-2009-0387,
CVE-2009-0397)

After installing the update, all applications using GStreamer (such as
totem or rhythmbox) must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
