Synopsis:	Moderate: gstreamer-plugins-base security update
Issue date:	2009-04-06
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-0586

An integer overflow flaw which caused a heap-based buffer overflow was
discovered in the Vorbis comment tags reader. An attacker could create a
carefully-crafted Vorbis file that would cause an application using
GStreamer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code if opened by
a victim. (CVE-2009-0586)

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