Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.84%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Heap-based buffer overflow in the flx_decode_delta_fli function in gst/flx/gstflxdec.c in the FLIC decoder in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) by providing a 'skip count' that goes beyond initialized buffer.
