XMP Toolkit SDK version 2021.07 (and earlier) is affected by a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation requires user interaction in that a victim must open a crafted file.
XMP Toolkit version 2020.1 (and earlier) is affected by a null pointer dereference vulnerability that could result in leaking data from certain memory locations and causing a local denial of service in the context of the current user. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the victim will need to open a specially crafted MXF file.
XMP Toolkit version 2020.1 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability.
