Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3109)
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 vp3_decode_frame() function in libavcodec/vp3.c in FFmpeg. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3341)
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 decode_main_header() function in libavformat/nutdec.c A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
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) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7055)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the the pnm_decode_frame() function in /libavcodec/pnmdec.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
