CVE-2016-9811
The windows_icon_typefind function in gst-plugins-base in GStreamer before 1.10.2, when G_SLICE is set to always-malloc, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted ico file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.29%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
