Multiple buffer and integer overflow flaws were found in the way
HelixPlayer processed Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) files. An

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way HelixPlayer handled the Real
Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) SET_PARAMETER directive. A malicious RTSP

arbitrary code. (CVE-2009-4248)
Multiple buffer overflow flaws were discovered in the way HelixPlayer
handled RuleBook structures in media files and RTSP streams.

potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2009-4247, CVE-2010-0417)
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way HelixPlayer performed URL
un-escaping. A specially-crafted URL string could cause HelixPlayer to
crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-0416)
