CVE-2014-8154 Information

Description

The Gst.MapInfo function in Vala 0.26.0 and 0.26.1 uses an incorrect buffer length declaration for the Gstreamer bindings which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors which trigger a heap-based buffer overflow.
