CVE-2008-5246

Publication date 26 November 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in xine-lib before 1.1.15 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors that send ID3 data to the (1) id3v22_interp_frame and (2) id3v24_interp_frame functions in src/demuxers/id3.c. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.
