- An overflow condition is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling ID3 version tags in MP3 file. With a specially crafted TXXX frame, a context-dependent attacker can cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-7092)
- A flaw is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. With a specially crafted movie file, a context-dependent attacker can corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-7117)
