CVE-2007-4938

Publication date 18 September 2007

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

Heap-based buffer overflow in libmpdemux/aviheader.c in MPlayer 1.0rc1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a .avi file with certain large "indx truck size" and nEntriesInuse values, and a certain wLongsPerEntry value.
