FKIE_CVE-2008-1489

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2008-03-25 00:44 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:51
Severity
Summary
Integer overflow in the MP4_ReadBox_rdrf function in libmp4.c for VLC 0.8.6e allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted MP4 RDRF box that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-0984.
