descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200708-02 (Xvid: Array indexing vulnerabilities) Trixter Jack discovered an array indexing error in the get_intra_block() function in the file src/bitstream/mbcoding.c. The get_inter_block_h263() and get_inter_block_mpeg() functions in the same file were also reported as vulnerable. Impact : An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user or automated system into processing a malicious video file with an application that makes use of the Xvid library. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
