Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
A flaw was found in libtheora. This heap-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists within the AVI (Audio Video Interleave) parser, specifically in the avi_parse_input_file() function. A local attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted AVI file containing a truncated header sub-chunk. This could lead to a denial-of-service (application crash) or potentially leak sensitive information from the heap.
Analysis
Heap-based out-of-bounds read in libtheora's AVI parser allows local attackers with limited privileges to trigger application crashes or leak heap memory via specially crafted AVI files with truncated header sub-chunks. The vulnerability affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6 through 10 and requires user interaction (opening a malicious file), with real-world impact limited to denial-of-service and potential information disclosure rather than code execution.
