Description

This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-18827)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer overflow in the ff_vc1_pred_dc function in vc1_block.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted aac file, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.


2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-18826)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer overflow in the vc1_decode_p_mb_intfi function in vc1_block.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted aac file, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.


3) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14372)

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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the wv_read_block_header() in the file wvdec.c. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and trigger denial of service condition.


4) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14371)

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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the mov_probe in the file libavformat/mov.c, related to offset and tag. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and trigger denial of service condition.


5) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-18829)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dreference error in ff_vc1_parse_frame_header_adv in vc1.c in Libav 12.3, which allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service through a crafted aac file. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-18828)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in vc1_decode_i_block_adv() function in vc1_block. A remote attacker can use a crafted aac file to 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.


7) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-19130)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the vc1_decode_frame() function in libavcodec/vc1dec.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted aac file, trigger out-of-bounds read error and crash the affected application.


8) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-19129)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the ff_mpa_synth_filter_float() function in libavcodec/mpegaudiodsp_template.c. A remote attacker can trigger denial of service conditions via a crafted mov file.


9) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-19128)

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

The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer over-read in decode_frame() function in libavcodec/lcldec.c when processing a crafted avi file. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.


10) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20001)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the range_decode_culshift function in libavcodec/apedec.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, pass it to the application and perform denial of service attack.


11) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11224)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the in_table_init16 function in libavcodec/aacsbr.c. A remote attacker can perform denial of service attack.
