Vulnerabilities

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in libav up to 12.3. This affects the function ff_seek_frame_binary of the file /libavformat/utils.c of the component MPEG File Parser. The manipulation leads to null pointer dereference. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The bug was initially reported by the researcher to the wrong project. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

In Libav 12.3, there is a heap-based buffer over-read in vc1_decode_p_mb_intfi in vc1_block.c that allows an attacker to cause denial-of-service via a crafted file.

A stack-based buffer overflow in the subtitle decoder in Libav 12.3 allows attackers to corrupt the stack via a crafted video file in Matroska format, because srt_to_ass in libavcodec/srtdec.c misuses snprintf. NOTE: Third parties dispute that this is a vulnerability because “no evidence of a vulnerability is provided” and only “a generic warning from a static code analysis” is provided

An issue was discovered in Libav 12.3. Division by zero in range_decode_culshift in libavcodec/apedec.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash), as demonstrated by avconv.

In Libav 12.3, there is an infinite loop in the function wv_read_block_header() in the file wvdec.c.

In libavcodec in Libav 9.21, ff_h264_execute_ref_pic_marking() has a heap-based buffer over-read.

In Libav 12.3, there is a floating point exception in the range_decode_culshift function (called from range_decode_bits) in libavcodec/apedec.c that will lead to remote denial of service via crafted input.

In Libav 12.3, there is an invalid memory access in vc1_decode_frame in libavcodec/vc1dec.c that allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted aac file. NOTE: This may be a duplicate of CVE-2017-17127

There exists a heap-based buffer overflow in vc1_decode_i_block_adv in vc1_block.c in Libav 12.3, which allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted aac file.

An issue was discovered in Libav 12.3. A read access violation in the in_table_init16 function in libavcodec/aacsbr.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash), as demonstrated by avconv.

An issue was discovered in Libav 12.3. A read access violation in the mov_probe function in libavformat/mov.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash), as demonstrated by avconv.

The mpc8_probe function in libavformat/mpc8.c in Libav 12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted audio file.

The apply_dependent_coupling function in libavcodec/aacdec.c in Libav 12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted aac file.

In Libav through 12.2, there is an invalid memcpy in the av_packet_ref function of libavcodec/avpacket.c. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a crafted avi file.

In Libav through 12.2, there is an invalid memcpy call in the ff_mov_read_stsd_entries function of libavformat/mov.c. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) and program failure with a crafted avi file.

In line libavcodec/h264dec.c:500 in libav(v13_dev0), ffmpeg(n3.4), chromium(56 prior Feb 13, 2017), the return value of init_get_bits is ignored and get_ue_golomb(&gb) is called on an uninitialized get_bits context, which causes a NULL deref exception.

The ff_free_picture_tables function in libavcodec/mpegpicture.c in Libav 12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file, related to vc1_decode_i_blocks_adv.

In Libav through 11.11 and 12.x through 12.1, the smacker_decode_tree function in libavcodec/smacker.c does not properly restrict tree recursion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (bitstream.c:build_table() out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted Smacker stream.

There is an illegal address access in the build_table function in libavcodec/bitstream.c of Libav 12.1 that will lead to remote denial of service via crafted input.

There is a heap-based buffer overflow in the function hpel_motion in mpegvideo_motion.c in libav 12.1. A crafted input can lead to a remote denial of service attack.

libav before 12.1 is vulnerable to an invalid read of size 1 due to NULL pointer dereferencing in the nsv_read_chunk function in libavformat/nsvdec.c.

The decode_residual function in libavcodec in libav 9.21 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or obtain sensitive information from process memory via a crafted h264 video file.

Integer overflow in libavcodec/mpeg12dec.c in libav 11.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file.
