Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write in the handling of coordinates due to insufficient validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution by enticing a user to process a specially crafted DVB subtitle stream.
