Stack-based buffer overflow in VideoLAN VLC media player 0.5.0 through 0.9.5 might allow user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via the header of an invalid CUE image file, related to modules/access/vcd/cdrom.c. NOTE: this identifier originally included an issue related to RealText, but that issue has been assigned a separate identifier, CVE-2008-5036.
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.
