The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors within the "get_header()" and "get_media_packet" functions when read data from the server. This can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows and may allow arbitrary code execution. Successful exploitation requires that e.g. the user is tricked into connecting to a malicious server. The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 0.0.9. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Restrict use to trusted servers only.
