    exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code.

    <package name="media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">0.8.7-r1</unaffected>

  <background>
    <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.
    </p>

  <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>
  </resolution>
