TITLE:
Xvid Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35274

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35274/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Xvid, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise an application using the library.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors 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.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 1.2.2.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.2.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits John McDonald and Christopher Valasek of IBM X-Force.
