Technical details
The qtdemux_parse_chnl function in the isomp4 plugin fails to properly validate the audio channel layout index when parsing MP4 chnl boxes, leading to an out-of-bounds read from a global array. This occurs during MP4 file parsing without requiring user authentication or special privileges. An attacker can craft a malicious MP4 file that, when parsed, leaks sensitive information from the application's memory.
