xine-lib demux_qt.c CMOV_ATOM denial of service
| xinelib-demuxqtc-cmovatom-dos (44656) |  Low Risk |
Description:
xine-lib is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an integer underflow error in demux_qt.c. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted compressed .MOV (CMOV_ATOM) file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code on the system.
