Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to supply a crafted DVD or disc image in which the VMGI title's vts_ttn value is larger than the number of part-of-title entries in the corresponding title set, and the victim must open that media in a libdvdnav-based application that enumerates chapters (the dvdnav_describe_title_chapters code path). Limiting factors: the attack vector is local (AV:L) and requires victim interaction (UI:P) to load the malicious disc, there is no remote or unauthenticated-over-network exposure, and the only outcome is an application crash - no code execution, data disclosure, or integrity impact. The vulnerable chapter-enumeration path must actually be invoked for the crash to occur.

Impact

This is a moderate, low-priority availability issue rather than a high-impact threat. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H) tells a consistent story: the attack is local (the attacker must get a crafted DVD or disc image in front of a victim), requires passive user interaction (opening/playing the media), needs no privileges, and produces only an availability impact (VA:H) - i.e. an application crash - with no confidentiality or integrity impact despite being an out-of-bounds read. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or declared POC flag was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation; the signals do not conflict, they simply all point to limited real-world urgency. The practical ceiling of this bug is a denial of service against a media player enumerating chapters, and reaching it requires social-engineering a user into opening attacker-supplied disc content, which sharply constrains scalability. Note the stated score of 6.8 appears to be a CVSS 4.0 value, not 3.1 - confirm which scoring system a given feed is reporting before comparing against other CVEs.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker crafts a malicious DVD image whose VMGI title declares a vts_ttn value larger than the number of part-of-title entries in the title set. When a victim opens this disc or image in a libdvdnav-backed media player and the application enumerates chapters, dvdnav_describe_title_chapters reads past the end of the part-of-title array, crashing the player. No public exploit was identified in the provided data, and exploitation is limited to a denial of service.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 18, 2026

Opening a crafted DVD or disc image in applications that use libdvdnav before 7.0.0 can trigger a heap out-of-bounds read during chapter enumeration and crash the application. The attacker supplies media whose VMGI title declares a vts_ttn larger than the corresponding title set's part-of-title entries; exploitation is local and requires the victim to open the crafted media, and only availability is affected. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the vendor has released a patch.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to libdvdnav 7.0.0 or later; the vendor patch commit is https://code.videolan.org/videolan/libdvdnav/-/commit/1d2af48d685911a169fe77d500b1d426910c6f77 and the advisory is https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/libdvdnav-before-7.0.0-out-of-bounds-read-in-dvdnav-describe-title-chapters. Until patched, avoid opening untrusted DVDs or disc images in libdvdnav-based applications, run such applications with low privileges or in a sandbox, and disable automatic chapter enumeration or chapter-listing features where configurable; these measures reduce exposure but sacrifice legitimate disc navigation functionality and do not fix the underlying parser bug.

Technical ContextAI · show details

libdvdnav is the DVD navigation library used by media players and disc-processing tools to interpret DVD-Video structures. The flaw is a heap out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) in dvdnav_describe_title_chapters, where the code walks part-of-title entries using a vts_ttn value taken from the VMGI title without validating it against the number of entries in the corresponding title set. A crafted DVD image can therefore cause the library to read beyond the allocated part-of-title array, leading to an application crash when chapter enumeration is invoked. The affected package is matched by CPE cpe:2.3:a:videolan:libdvdnav:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* for versions before 7.0.0; the vulnerable path is referenced in src/searching.c around line 670 in 6.1.1, and the independent assessment rates this as a local, user-interaction-dependent availability issue with no confidentiality or integrity impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

libdvdnav before 7.0.0 contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in dvdnav_describe_title_chapters that allows attackers to read beyond the part-of-title array by supplying an oversized vts_ttn value. Attackers can provide a crafted DVD or disc image declaring a larger VMGI title vts_ttn than the title set's entries to crash applications enumerating chapters.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
