A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the LXF parsing functionality of MediaInfoLib (version(s): 26.01). A specially crafted .lxf file can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the ID3v2 parsing functionality of MediaInfoLib (version(s): 26.01). A specially crafted media file that contains ID3v2 tags can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the LXF element parsing functionality of MediaInfoLib (version(s): 26.01). A specially crafted .lxf file can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Channel Splitting functionality of MediaInfoLib (version(s): 26.01). A specially crafted .riff file can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.
A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in MediaArea ZenLib up to 0.4.38. This affects the function Ztring::DateFromSeconds1970Local of the file Source/ZenLib/Ztring.cpp. The manipulation of the argument Value leads to unchecked return value to null pointer dereference. Upgrading to version 0.4.39 is able to address this issue. The identifier of the patch is 6475fcccd37c9cf17e0cfe263b5fe0e2e47a8408. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The identifier VDB-217629 was assigned to this vulnerability.
Mediainfo before version 20.08 has a heap buffer overflow vulnerability via MediaInfoLib::FileGxf::ChooseParserChannelGrouping.
In MediaInfoLib in MediaArea MediaInfo 20.03, there is a stack-based buffer over-read in StreamsFillPerStream in Multiple/FileMpegPs.cpp (aka an off-by-one during MpegPs parsing).
An out-of-bounds read in FileAnalyze::GetL8 in FileAnalyzeBuffer.cpp in MediaInfoLib in MediaArea MediaInfo 18.12 leads to a crash.
An out-of-bounds read in MediaInfoLib::FileTagsHelper::SynchedTest in Tag/FileTags.cpp in MediaInfoLib in MediaArea MediaInfo 18.12 leads to a crash.
