> Security researcher Aki Helin reported a use-after-free when playing
certain MP3 format audio files on the web using the Fluendo MP3 plugin for
GStreamer on Linux. This is due to a flaw in handling certain MP3 files by
the plugin and its interaction with Mozilla code. This can lead to a
potentially exploitable crash.
