Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer overflow in the Opus audio decoder when processing crafted Opus streams with more than 64 channels. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted Opus stream to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.
The issue is triggered because the decoder uses the channel count from the stream header for memory operations on fixed-size 64-element arrays.
