Descriptions

libebml before 1.3.6, as used in the MKV module in VideoLAN VLC Media Player binaries before 3.0.3, has a heap-based buffer over-read in EbmlElement::FindNextElement.

libebml en versiones anteriores a la 1.3.6, tal como se usa en el módulo MKV en los binarios de VideoLAN VLC Media Player en versiones anteriores a la 3.0.3, tiene una sobrelectura de búfer basada en memoria dinámica (heap) en EbmlElement :: FindNextElement.

It was discovered that libEBML incorrectly handled certain media files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted media file, libEBML could possibly be made to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
