In FFmpeg 4.0.1, a missing check for failure of a call to init_get_bits8() in the avpriv_ac3_parse_header function in libavcodec/ac3_parser.c may trigger a NULL pointer dereference while converting a crafted AVI file to MPEG4, leading to a denial of service.
AnalysisAI
In FFmpeg 4.0.1, a missing check for failure of a call to init_get_bits8() in the avpriv_ac3_parse_header function in libavcodec/ac3_parser.c may trigger a NULL pointer dereference while converting a. Rated medium severity (CVSS 6.5), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476), which allows attackers to crash the application by dereferencing a null pointer. In FFmpeg 4.0.1, a missing check for failure of a call to init_get_bits8() in the avpriv_ac3_parse_header function in libavcodec/ac3_parser.c may trigger a NULL pointer dereference while converting a crafted AVI file to MPEG4, leading to a denial of service. Affected products include: Ffmpeg.
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Check pointers before dereferencing. Use static analysis tools to detect null pointer paths.
