Descriptions

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.

demux_qt.c de xine-lib v1.1.12, y otra v1.1.15 y versiones anteriores, no valida el campo contador antes de hacer una llamada calloc para una asignación atom de STSD_ATOM. 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.
