REDHAT-BUG-2520606: High severity GStreamer GStreamer vulnerability
GStreamer MRF File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GStreamer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of MRF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-29510.

What must an attacker do to exploit this issue?
The attacker must induce the target to visit a malicious page or open a malicious MRF file. Exploitation occurs through crafted user-supplied data in an MRF file.
What level of access could successful exploitation provide?
Successful exploitation can allow arbitrary code execution in the context of the current process. The resulting privileges depend on the permissions of the process handling the malicious content.
