Libheif Vulnerability: Out-of-Bounds Read Causes Chaos!
Libheif v1.21.0 has a flaw in Box_stts::get_sample_duration, leading to out-of-bounds reads. This can cause denial of service or leak sensitive data due to unchecked entry_count. Who knew trusting metadata could be so hazardous? Always check your vectors, folks—because data breaches are no laughing matter!
Hot Take:
Ah, the joys of trusting metadata blindly! It’s like trusting a raccoon to guard your garbage—bound to end in chaos. Libheif’s latest escapade into the wild world of out-of-bounds reads is just a reminder that when it comes to coding, a little skepticism could save you from a heap of trouble…literally.
Key Points:
- Libheif v1.21.0 falls victim to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability.
- The culprit is the Box_stts::get_sample_duration function.
- Root cause involves a lack of proper bounds checks on entry_count.
- Potential impacts include denial of service and information disclosure.
- AddressSanitizer caught the act with a SEGV in Box_stts::get_sample_duration.
