Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow or Wraparound due to the parsing of MXF video files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before allocating a buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
