The vulnerability is due to a boundary error in the "Ogg_DecodePacket()" function (modules/demux/ogg.c) when processing OGG container files. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted OGG file. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but requires tricking a user into opening a malicious file. The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 2.0.2. SOLUTION: Update to version 2.0.2. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: The vendor credits an anonymous person via SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure (SSD).
