CVE-2008-5247

Publication date 26 November 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The real_parse_audio_specific_data function in demux_real.c in xine-lib 1.1.12, and other 1.1.15 and earlier versions, uses an untrusted height (aka codec_data_length) value as a divisor, which allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and crash) via a zero value.
