Descriptions

The rtp_packetize_xiph_config function in modules/stream_out/rtpfmt.c in VideoLAN VLC media player before 2.1.6 uses a stack-allocation approach with a size determined by arbitrary input data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted length value.

La función rtp_packetize_xiph_config en el archivo modules/stream_out/rtpfmt.c en el reproductor multimedia VLC de VideoLAN versiones anteriores a 2.1.6, utiliza un enfoque de asignación de pila con un tamaño determinado por datos de entrada arbitrarios, que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) posiblemente tenga otro impacto no especificado por medio de un valor de longitud diseñado.

Fabian Yamaguchi discovered multiple vulnerabilities in VLC, a multimedia player and streamer.
