CVE-2008-5242

Publication date 25 November 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

demux_qt.c in xine-lib 1.1.12, and other 1.1.15 and earlier versions, does not validate the count field before calling calloc for STSD_ATOM atom allocation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted media file.
