Package(s):vlc CVE #(s):CVE-2014-9625 CVE-2014-9626 CVE-2014-9627 CVE-2014-9628 CVE-2014-9629 CVE-2014-9630
Created:February 2, 2015 Updated:February 4, 2015
Description: From the Debian and SUSE advisories:

CVE-2014-9625: On 32 bit builds, parsing of update status files with a size of 4294967295 or more lead to an integer truncation in a call to malloc and a subsequent buffer overflow.

CVE-2014-9626: The MP4 demuxer, when parsing string boxes, did not properly check the length of the box, leading to a possible integer underflow when using this length value in a call to memcpy(). This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or arbitrary code execution via crafted MP4 files.

CVE-2014-9627: The MP4 demuxer, when parsing string boxes, did not properly check that the conversion of the box length from 64bit integer to 32bit integer on 32bit platforms did not cause a truncation, leading to a possible buffer overflow. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or arbitrary code execution via crafted MP4 files.

CVE-2014-9628: The MP4 demuxer, when parsing string boxes, did not properly check the length of the box, leading to a possible buffer overflow. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or arbitrary code execution via crafted MP4 files.

CVE-2014-9629: The Dirac and Schroedinger encoders did not properly check for an integer overflow on 32bit platforms, leading to a possible buffer overflow. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or arbitrary code execution.
