NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libass package and not the libass package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Stack overflow in the parse_tag function in libass/ass_parse.c in libass before 0.15.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or remote code execution via a crafted file.
