Description

The gst_mpegts_section_new function in the mpegts decoder in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a too small section. An out-of-bounds heap read flaw was found in GStreamer's MPEG-TS decoder. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application using GStreamer to crash.
