Description

Integer overflow in the vmnc decoder in the gstreamer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via large width and height values, which triggers a buffer overflow. An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in GStreamer's VMware VMnc video file format decoding plug-in. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application using GStreamer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
