Stack-based buffer overflow in DivX Player 6.7 build 6.7.0.22 and earlier allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a long subtitle in a .SRT file.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
