1. Summary:
Updated gstreamer-plugins packages that fix one security issue are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.
This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:

3. Description:
The gstreamer-plugins package contains plug-ins used by the GStreamer
streaming-media framework to support a wide variety of media types.
An array indexing error was found in the GStreamer's QuickTime media file
format decoding plug-in. An attacker could create a carefully-crafted
QuickTime media .mov file that would cause an application using GStreamer
to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code if played by a victim.
(CVE-2009-0398)
All users of gstreamer-plugins are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After
installing the update, all applications using GStreamer (such as
nautilus-media) must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
