Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Improper validation of array index (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33815)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds array access within the dwa_uncompress() function in libavcodec/exr.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted image, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the system.
2) Unchecked return value (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-38171)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to an unchecked return value within the adts_decode_extradata() function in libavformat/adtsenc.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted image and execute arbitrary code on the system.
3) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-38291)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion in src/libavutil/mathematics.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and crash the application.
4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1475)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the application.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the g729_parse() function in llibavcodec/g729_parser.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and crash the application.
5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3964)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the QuickTime RPZA Video Encoder in libavcodec/rpzaenc.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3965)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the smc_encode_stream() function in libavcodec/smcenc.cwithin within the QuickTime Graphics Video Encoder in . A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48434)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in libavcodec/pthread_frame.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
