Descriptions

xine-lib 1.1.12, and other versions before 1.1.15, does not check for failure of malloc in circumstances including (1) the mymng_process_header function in demux_mng.c, (2) the open_mod_file function in demux_mod.c, and (3) frame_buffer allocation in the real_parse_audio_specific_data function in demux_real.c, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted media file.

xine-lib v1.1.12 y versiones anteriores a v1.1.15, no comprueba que pueda fallar malloc en circunstancias que incluyen (1) la función mymng_process_header en demux_mng.c, (2) la función open_mod_file en demux_mod.c y (3) frame_buffer allocation en la función real_parse_audio_specific_data en demux_real.c; esto permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) o puede que ejecutar código de su elección a través de un fichero multimedia manipulado.
