Descriptions

An issue was discovered in Exempi before 2.4.4. The TradQT_Manager::ParseCachedBoxes function in XMPFiles/source/FormatSupport/QuickTime_Support.cpp allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via crafted XMP data in a .qt file.

Se ha descubierto un problema en versiones anteriores a la 2.4.4 de Exempi. La función TradQT_Manager::ParseCachedBoxes en XMPFiles/source/FormatSupport/QuickTime_Support.cpp permite que los atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (bucle infinito) mediante datos XMP manipulados en un archivo .qt.

An infinite loop has been discovered in Exempi in the way it handles Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) data in QuickTime files. An attacker could cause a denial of service via a crafted file.

It was discovered that Exempi incorrectly handled certain media files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could cause Exempi to hang or crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
