CVE-2017-5847
The gst_asf_demux_process_ext_content_desc function in gst/asfdemux/gstasfdemux.c in gst-plugins-ugly in GStreamer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read) via vectors involving extended content descriptors.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.73%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
