Libtheora: libtheora: denial of service or information disclosure via malformed avi file processing

Platform

c

Component

theora

Fixed in

2.5.4

A flaw was found in libtheora. This heap-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists within the AVI (Audio Video Interleave) parser, specifically in the avi_parse_input_file() function. A local attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted AVI file containing a truncated header sub-chunk. This could lead to a denial-of-service (application crash) or potentially leak sensitive information from the heap.

How to fix

Actualice a la versión 2.5.4 o superior para mitigar la vulnerabilidad. Esta actualización corrige un error de lectura fuera de límites en el analizador de archivos AVI, previniendo posibles denegaciones de servicio o divulgación de información.
