Vulnerability Status: Patched
Vulnerability Embargo: Broken

Vulnerability Class: Integer Overflow
Vulnerability Effect: Memory Corruption
Vulnerability Impact: DoS, OOW, RCE
Vulnerability DoS Practicality: Practical
Vulnerability OOW Practicality: Practical
Vulnerability RCE Practicality: Practical
Vulnerability Criticality: Critical

Vulnerability Scope:
All versions of libav are affected.
All architectures supported by libav are affected.

Criticality Reasoning
---------------------
This vulnerability can be triggered through a compression payload embedded
in a video file. Due to the nature of this memory corruption vulnerability,
exploitation of the bug can be seamless and work in the background during
normal video playback. A user will never notice that playback has been
compromised.

Testing was successfully performed on all variants of mplayer2, including
gecko-mplayer2 embedded in Firefox, Iceweasel, Opera, Chromium, and Konqueror
on Linux.

Ease of compromise is partly due to libav's use of tmalloc, which places
a header containing function pointers at the beginning of allocated heap
regions. Exploitation of the compression vulnerability overwrites these
function pointers, which then point to ROP payloads that allow for the
bypassing of ASLR and NX security enhancements.

Comment 1 Kristian Fiskerstrand (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-06-28 10:51:05 UTC
We are happy to update three release branches: Today, we provide you with Libav 10.2, Libav 9.14, and Libav 0.8.13, which address a number of critical functional and security issues that we have been made aware of. In particular, these releases address the recently discovered LZO issue.
