Performance degradation via excessive memory consumption

Published May 5, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025

Uncontrolled resource consumption in PaulleDemon tkVideoPlayer before 2.0.0 allows attackers to degrade performance via video playback. The upstream advisory does not disclose which playback routine retains or allocates data incorrectly; it reports excessive memory use even for small files. Trigger conditions and attacker control are undisclosed, and the reported consequence is performance degradation rather than a confirmed crash.
