Summary

This host is installed with Microsoft Windows Indeo codec and prone to multiple vulnerabilities.

Insight

Insight

The multiple flaws are due to: - An error in the Indeo41 codec when processing a specific size within the 'movi' record of a IV41 stream can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. - An error in the Indeo41 codec when decompressing a video stream can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow. - An unspecified error in the Indeo codec can be exploited to corrupt memory. - An error in the Indeo32 codec when decoding a IV32 stream can be exploited to cause memory corruption. - Other vulnerabilities also exist and are caused due to unspecified errors in the Indeo codec and can be exploited to corrupt memory by tricking a user into viewing specially crafted media content.
