Matroska · Libmatroska · CVE-2015-8792
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
libMatroska versions prior to 1.4.4
**Description**
The issue allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from process heap memory via crafted EBML lacing, which triggers an invalid memory access. This is due to a problem in the KaxInternalBlock::ReadData function.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.4.4, update to version 1.4.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the KaxInternalBlock::ReadData function until a patch is available.
