[libextractor] Help with the software

[Thompson, Scott]

I received the following message from my networking people

 

Your IP address is triggering the following:

 

4443: HTTP: GNU libextractor Library ASF Property Size Anomaly

 

A problem occurs in some media decoders which use the when the segment parser trusts the data sizes specified within the file and allocates memory based on those values. When this occurs, an attacker has the ability to control the amount of memory allocated. If this condition is exploited, an attacker can specify certain incorrect sizes and cause memory corruption, leading to the ability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the media player.

 

 

 

I am running a Windows XP machine in a windows enviorment. I must be an idiot because I can not figure out for the life of me, how to update this from your site. Can you help???
