DescriptionCVE.org

FFmpeg versions 0.7.1 through 8.1.2 contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the S/PDIF muxer that allows attackers to access memory beyond buffer boundaries by supplying a crafted DTS stream with a core_size value larger than the actual packet length. Attackers can exploit the missing bounds check in the spdif_header_dts4 function by providing a malicious DTS-HD audio stream during S/PDIF re-muxing to trigger unauthorized memory reads beyond the packet buffer.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds memory read in FFmpeg's S/PDIF muxer (spdifenc.c) affects versions 0.7.1 through 8.1.2 when re-muxing DTS-HD audio to an S/PDIF (IEC 61937) container. The spdif_header_dts4 function trusts an attacker-controlled core_size field from a crafted DTS stream without validating it against the actual packet length, letting a malicious input read memory past the packet buffer to leak small amounts of adjacent process memory or crash the process. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Craft DTS-HD stream with oversized core_size
Delivery
Deliver file to S/PDIF re-mux pipeline
Exploit
spdif_header_dts4 skips bounds check
Execution
Read memory beyond packet buffer
Impact
Leak adjacent memory or crash process

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the vulnerable FFmpeg build actually invoke the S/PDIF muxer (output format 'spdif' / IEC 61937 passthrough) on attacker-supplied DTS input, and that the attacker can deliver a crafted DTS-HD stream in which the core_size field exceeds the true packet length - this is the concrete trigger for the missing bounds check in spdif_header_dts4. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a moderate, availability-leaning issue rather than a critical one. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malicious DTS-HD audio stream whose embedded core_size field is larger than the real packet, then gets a victim service or user to re-mux it to S/PDIF (for example an automated transcoding backend that accepts uploaded audio or a media player configured for S/PDIF passthrough). When spdif_header_dts4 processes the frame, it reads past the packet buffer, crashing the process or disclosing a small amount of adjacent memory. …
Remediation Upstream fix available (PR/commit); released patched version not independently confirmed - apply FFmpeg patch commit 6f80e2765492700622596af720534cef33dd31b4 (pull request 23661) or upgrade to a build that incorporates it once your distribution ships a tagged release beyond 8.1.2. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
