CVE-2025-54957
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
An issue was discovered in Dolby UDC 4.5 through 4.13. A crash of the DD+ decoder process can occur when a malformed DD+ bitstream is processed. When Evolution data is processed by evo_priv.c from the DD+ bitstream, the decoder writes that data into a buffer. The length calculation for a write can overflow due to an integer wraparound. This can lead to the allocated buffer being too small, and the out-of-bounds check of the subsequent write to be ineffective, leading to an out-of-bounds write.

"value": "Se descubrió un problema en Dolby UDC 4.5 hasta 4.13. Puede ocurrir un fallo del proceso del decodificador DD+ cuando se procesa un flujo de bits DD+ malformado. Cuando los datos de Evolution son procesados por evo_priv.c desde el flujo de bits DD+, el decodificador escribe esos datos en un búfer. El cálculo de la longitud para una escritura puede desbordarse debido a un ajuste de enteros. Esto puede llevar a que el búfer asignado sea demasiado pequeño, y a que la comprobación de límites de la escritura subsiguiente sea ineficaz, lo que resulta en una escritura fuera de límites."
