Description: The gstreamer-plugins package contains plug-ins used by the GStreamer streaming-media framework to support a wide variety of media types. An array indexing error was found in the GStreamer's QuickTime media file format decoding plug-in.

After installing the update, all applications using GStreamer (such as nautilus-media) must be restarted for the changes to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that allpreviously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at 5.
