Divx · Divx Player · CVE-2008-1912
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
DivX Player version 6.7.0.22 and earlier
**Description**
The issue is related to a stack-based buffer overflow that can be triggered by a long subtitle in a .SRT file, allowing user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
**Recommendations**
For DivX Player version 6.7.0.22 and earlier, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of .SRT files with long subtitles until a patch is available.
