The gst_avi_demux_parse_ncdt function in gst/avi/gstavidemux.c in gst-plugins-good in GStreamer before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and crash) via a ncdt sub-tag that "goes behind" the surrounding tag.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-5845 is a crash bug in GStreamer's AVI demuxer. A malicious or malformed AVI with a bad ncdt tag can make an application using gst-plugins-good before 1.10.3 crash. The public sources describe denial of service, not data theft or code execution. Exposure is most likely where desktops, servers, or media-processing services use GStreamer gst-plugins-good to parse untrusted AVI files or streams. Systems on vendor-patched packages may already be protected. Treat as a routine but real availability risk. Prioritize internet-facing or automated media-processing workflows first, then managed desktops and internal applications that open untrusted AVI content. Mitigation focus: Upgrade GStreamer gst-plugins-good to 1.10.3 or later where applicable.; Apply Debian, Red Hat, Gentoo, or other distribution security updates.; Check vendor guidance for exact fixed package versions in supported releases..
