Description

A flaw was found in libdvdnav. This vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted DVD or disc image. When the library parses chapters from a disc declaring an oversized title index, it performs an out-of-bounds read beyond allocated memory, resulting in an application crash.
