Description The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a crafted clef atom in a movie file. This is a result of a buffer overflow in the affected software.

Recommendations For versions prior to 7.7.5, update to version 7.7.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of crafted movie files that could trigger the buffer overflow until a patch is applied.
