1) Integer underflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU19245

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13602

CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attacks on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the "MP4_EIA608_Convert()" function in the "modules/demux/mp4/mp4.c" file. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted .mp4 file, trigger integer underflow and crash the affected application.


Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
