2.7.6. Such versions are potentially affected by multiple
vulnerabilities:
- An error in the application media code allows a
user-after-free race condition when an error has been
reported by GStreamer. This can result in an
application crash. (12806)
- An error in the Google Relay procedures which attempt to
free resources two times and can lead to denial of
service conditions.
- An error in the MSN handling portion of the application
attempts to use resources after freeing them leading to
application crashes and may allow arbitrary code
execution."
