GStreamer versions prior to 1.10.3
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an invalid memory read and crash. This is related to the number of languages in a video file, specifically involving the gst asf demux process ext stream props function in gst-plugins-ugly.

For versions prior to 1.10.3, update to version 1.10.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the processing of video files with multiple languages to minimize the risk of exploitation.
