CVE-2024-10573
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in mpg123 when handling crafted streams. When decoding PCM, the libmpg123 may write past the end of a heap-located buffer. Consequently, heap corruption may happen, and arbitrary code execution is not discarded. The complexity required to exploit this flaw is considered high as the payload must be validated by the MPEG decoder and the PCM synth before execution. Additionally, to successfully execute the attack, the user must scan through the stream, making web live stream content (such as web radios) a very unlikely attack vector.

"value": "Se encontró un fallo de escritura fuera de los límites en mpg123 al manejar transmisiones creadas. Al decodificar PCM, libmpg123 puede escribir más allá del final de un búfer ubicado en el almacenamiento dinámico. En consecuencia, puede ocurrir una corrupción del almacenamiento dinámico y no se descarta la ejecución de código arbitrario. La complejidad requerida para explotar este fallo se considera alta ya que el payload debe ser validado por el decodificador MPEG y el sintetizador PCM antes de la ejecución. Además, para ejecutar el ataque con éxito, el usuario debe escanear la transmisión, lo que hace que el contenido de transmisión en vivo web (como radios web) sea un vector de ataque muy poco probable."
