Description:
SYS 49152 has discovered some vulnerabilities in 3ivx MPEG-4, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors in 3ivxDSMediaSplitter.ax when processing certain atoms ("©art", "©nam", "©cmt", "©des", and "©cpy") in MP4 files and can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows via a specially crafted MP4 file.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 5.0.1 with the following applications as attack vectors:
* Windows Media Player version 6.4.09.1130 (mplayer2.exe)
