VULNERABILITY DETAILS |
The specific flaw exists within how the application decodes video samples encoded with the RLE codec. When decompressing the sample, the application will fail to accommodate for the canvas the sample is rendered into. This can cause a buffer overflow and thus can be taken advantage of in order to gain code execution under the context of the application. |
