CVE-2022-1441: Buffer Overflow

Published Apr 25, 2022
·
Updated

MP4Box is a component of GPAC-2.0.0, which is a widely-used third-party package on RPM Fusion. When MP4Box tries to parse a MP4 file, it calls the function diSTboxread() to read from video. In this function, it allocates a buffer str with fixed length. However, content read from bs is controllable by user, so is the length, which causes a buffer overflow.
