+ <p>
+ The GStreamer FFmpeg plugin uses code from the FFmpeg library to
+ provide fast colorspace conversion and multimedia decoders to the
+ GStreamer open source media framework.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The GStreamer FFmpeg plugin contains derived code from the FFmpeg
+ library, which is vulnerable to a heap overflow in the
+ "avcodec_default_get_buffer()" function discovered by Simon Kilvington
+ (see GLSA 200601-06).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to run an application using
+ the GStreamer FFmpeg plugin on a maliciously crafted PIX_FMT_PAL8
+ format image file (like PNG images), possibly leading to the execution
+ of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the
+ application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All GStreamer FFmpeg plugin users should upgrade to the latest
+ version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.8.7-r1"</code>
