USN-8738-1: FFmpeg vulnerabilities
Ubuntu's USN-8738-1 fixes multiple FFmpeg vulnerabilities allowing denial of service, arbitrary code execution, and sensitive information exposure.
FFmpeg through 8.1.2, fixed in commit aafb5c6, contains a signed integer overflow vulnerability in the MACE6 audio decoder that allows attackers to corrupt heap memory by supplying a crafted CAF file with a malicious bytes_per_packet value. Attackers can craft a CAF file with oversized bytes_per_packet and frames_per_packet values in the desc chunk to trigger an integer overflow in mace_decode_frame() during output sample count computation, resulting in an undersized buffer allocation and heap out-of-bounds write that could enable code execution.
