Last modified
CVE-2009-0894 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Heap-based buffer overflow in the decoder_create function in the initialization functionality in xvidcore/src/decoder.c in Xvid before 1.2.2, as used by Windows Media Player and other applications, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving the DirectShow (aka DShow) frontend and improper handling of the XVID_ERR_MEMORY return code during processing of a crafted movie file. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.. EPSS estimates a 5.70% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
