Description

This security bulletin contains information about 15 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38862)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing files within the play() function in libaf/af.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


2) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38850)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a division by zero error within the config() function in llibmpcodecs/vf_scale.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a divide by zero error and crash the application.


3) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38600)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak within vf.c and vf_vo.c files. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.


4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38851)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the read_meta_record() function in mplayer/libmpdemux/asfheader.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.


5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38856)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the application

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the mov_build_index() function in libmpdemux/demux_mov.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and crash the application.


6) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38864)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the application

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the mp_unescape03() function in libmpdemux/mpeg_hdr.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and crash the application.

7) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38865)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a division by zero error within the demux_avi_read_packet() function in libmpdemux/demux_avi.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a divide by zero error and crash the application.

8) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38861)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the application

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the free_mp_image() function in libmpcodecs/mp_image.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and crash the application.

9) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32317)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the preinit() function in libvo/vo_v4l2.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger a use-after-free error and crash the application.



10) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38855)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the gen_sh_video() function in mplayer/libmpdemux/demux_mov.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and crash the application.


11) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38860)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a division by zero error within the  function demux_open_avi() function in libmpdemux/demux_avi.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a divide by zero error and crash the application.

12) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38858)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the mov_build_index() function in libmpdemux/demux_mov.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and crash the application.

13) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38853)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the asf_init_audio_stream() function in  libmpdemux/asfheader.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and crash the application.

14) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38866)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the read_avi_header() function in libmpdemux/aviheader.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and crash the application.

15) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38863)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the mp_getbits() function in libmpdemux/mpeg_hdr.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and crash the application.
