Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Xvid, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise an application using the library.
1) Multiple boundary errors exist within the "decoder_iframe()", "decoder_pframe()", and "decoder_bframe()" functions in src/decoder.c. These can be exploited to potentially corrupt memory via specially crafted video files.
2) An error exists within the "decoder_create()" function in src/decoder.c when interpreting errors returned by "decoder_resize()". This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted video file.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 1.2.2.
