Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13312)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing media files in block_cmp() function in libavcodec/zmbvenc.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted media file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15942)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
FFmpeg through 4.2 has a "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value" issue in h2645_parse because alloc_rbsp_buffer in libavcodec/h2645_parse.c mishandles rbsp_buffer.
3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12284)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in "cbs_jpeg_split_fragment" in "libavcodec/cbs_jpeg.c" file during "JPEG_MARKER_SOS" handling. A remote attacker can trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13904)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in FFmpeg when processing a crafted EXTINF duration in an m3u8 file because parse_playlist in
libavformat/hls.c frees a pointer, and later that pointer is accessed in
av_probe_input_format3 in libavformat/format.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted media file or playlist, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
5) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14212)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the avio_get_str in libavformat/aviobuf.c because dnn_backend_native.c calls ff_dnn_load_model_native and a certain index check is omitted. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
