A vulnerability was found in xine-lib (Multimedia Player Software) and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown functionality of the component DVD Subpicture Decoder. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a heap-based overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-122. A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc(). Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Heap-based buffer overflow in the DVD subpicture decoder in xine xine-lib 1-rc5 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a (1) DVD or (2) MPEG subpicture header where the second field reuses RLE data from the end of the first field.
