Descriptions

avcodec 2.2.x, as used in VideoLAN VLC media player 2.2.7-x before 2017-06-29, allows out-of-bounds heap memory write due to calling memcpy() with a wrong size, leading to a denial of service (application crash) or possibly code execution.

avcodec 2.2.x, tal y como se emplea en el reproductor multimedia VideoLAN VLC en versiones 2.2.7-x anteriores a la 2017-06-29, permite una escritura en la memoria dinámica (heap) fuera de límites debido a que se llama a memcpy() con un tamaño erróneo. Esto conduce a una denegación de servicio (cierre inesperado de la aplicación) o a una posible ejecución de código.

Several vulnerabilities have been found in VLC, the VideoLAN project's media player. Processing malformed media files could lead to denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code.
