Synopsis:	Important: gstreamer-plugins security update
Issue date:	2009-02-06
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-0397 CVE-2009-0398

An array indexing error was found in the GStreamer's QuickTime media
file format decoding plug-in. 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-2009-0397, CVE-2009-0398)

After installing the update, all applications using GStreamer (such as
nautilus-media) must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
