DescriptionCVE.org

FFmpeg before 9.0 has an out-of-bounds read because of missing required padding in WMA extradata allocation paths in libavcodec/wmaenc.c.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read in FFmpeg's WMA audio encoder (libavcodec/wmaenc.c) before version 9.0 allows a process crash when encoding WMA audio with crafted extradata parameters. The root cause is missing required padding bytes in the extradata buffer allocation path, permitting a read operation to extend past the buffer boundary (CWE-125). …
