OESA-2024-1804 (CVE-2021-38171)
Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2024-07-05 11:07 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:07 – Source websiteFFmpeg is a complete and free Internet live audio and video broadcasting solution for Linux/Unix. It also includes a digital VCR. It can encode in real time in many formats including MPEG1 audio and video, MPEG4, h263, ac3, asf, avi, real, mjpeg, and flash.
Security Fix(es):
adts_decode_extradata in libavformat/adtsenc.c in FFmpeg 4.4 does not check the init_get_bits return value, which is a necessary step because the second argument to init_get_bits can be crafted.(CVE-2021-38171)
An issue was discovered in the FFmpeg package, where vp3_decode_frame in libavcodec/vp3.c lacks check of the return value of av_malloc() and will cause a null pointer dereference, impacting availability.(CVE-2022-3109)
Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Ffmpeg v.n6.1-3-g466799d4f5 allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code via the set_encoder_id function in /fftools/ffmpeg_enc.c component.(CVE-2023-50010)
Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Ffmpeg v.N113007-g8d24a28d06 allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code via the libavutil/imgutils.c:353:9 in image_copy_plane.(CVE-2023-51793)
Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Ffmpeg v.N113007-g8d24a28d06 allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code via a floating point exception (FPE) error at libavfilter/vf_minterpolate.c:1078:60 in interpolate.(CVE-2023-51798)
