Technical details

The vulnerability is a heap-based buffer overflow in the mpgviddmx_process function of filters/reframe_mpgvid.c in the MPEG Video Reframer component. The attack is network-accessible and requires no authentication or user interaction beyond processing a malicious MPEG video file. An attacker can trigger memory corruption by providing a crafted MPEG video stream, potentially leading to denial of service or code execution. The issue has been patched in version abi-16.23 via commit afca1f1181668d85941d51ed1adf647807d5d975, and upgrading is recommended.
