Descriptions

Integer signedness error in the mms_ReceiveCommand function in modules/access/mms/mmstu.c in VLC Media Player 0.8.6i allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted mmst link with a negative size value, which bypasses a size check and triggers an integer overflow followed by a heap-based buffer overflow.

Un error en la propiedad signedness de enteros en la función mms_ReceiveCommand en el archivo modules/access/mms/mmstu.c en Reproductor Multimedia VLC versión 0.8.6i, permite a los atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de un enlace mmst diseñado con un valor size negativo, que omite una comprobación de tamaño y desencadena un desbordamiento de enteros seguido de un desbordamiento de búfer en la región heap de la memoria.
