Description:   Opened: 2008-07-15 03:21 0000 
media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg ships a copy of ffmpeg, and builds that
statically. Is it generally possible to have it link to a system-provided
version?


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #231831 +++

CVE-2008-3162 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-3162):
  Stack-based buffer overflow in the str_read_packet function in
  libavformat/psxstr.c in FFmpeg before r13993 allows remote attackers to cause
  a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a
  crafted STR file that interleaves audio and video sectors.

That is not supported by upstream.

In this case we need to rebase their ffmpeg or patch this issue (you can find a
patch in comment 1).

------- Comment #4 From Edward Hervey 2008-12-09 13:40:16 0000 ------- 
Why not just use a more recent version of gst-ffmpeg ?

0.10.6 ships with r15750
0.10.5 ships with r15004

Any version above (and including) 0.10.5 has this issue fixed.

Please CC archteams and fix status whiteboard as needed.. not sure if I got it
right. Archteams don't seem to realize they are not handling several bugs..

ppc stable

------- Comment #7 From Ferris McCormick 2008-12-21 16:14:40 0000 ------- 
Sparc stable --- forgot to note it on the bug.

------- Comment #8 From Samuli Suominen 2008-12-22 14:34:02 0000 ------- 
Security: All archteams are done, and old versions have been removed from tree.
