Description Jan Lieskovsky 2013-07-03 13:16:43 UTC
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libzrtpcpp, a ZRTP support library for the GNU ccRTP stack, processed certain ZRTP packets (overly-large ZRTP packets of several types). A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted ZRTP packet that, when processed in an application linked against libzrtpcpp would lead to that application crash or, potentially, arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running that application.
