CVE-2025-59729

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

When parsing the header for a DHAV file, there's an integer underflow in offset calculation that leads to reading the duration from before the start of the allocated buffer. If we load a DHAV file that is larger than MAX_DURATION_BUFFER_SIZE bytes (0x100000) for example 0x101000 bytes, then at [0] we have size = 0x101000. At [1] we have end_buffer_size = 0x100000, and at [2] we have end_buffer_pos = 0x1000. The loop then scans backwards through the buffer looking for the dhav tag; when it is found, we'll calculate end_pos based on a 32-bit offset read from the buffer. There is subsequently a check [3] that end_pos is within the section of the file that has been copied into end_buffer, but it only correctly handles the cases where end_pos is before the start of the file or after the section copied into end_buffer, and not the case where end_pos is within the the file, but before the section copied into end_buffer. If we provide such an offset, (end_pos - end_buffer_pos) can underflow, resulting in the subsequent access at [4] occurring before the beginning of the allocation. We recommend upgrading to version 8.0 or beyond.

      "value": "Al analizar la cabecera de un archivo DHAV, hay un desbordamiento negativo de enteros en el cálculo del desplazamiento que lleva a leer la duración desde antes del inicio del búfer asignado.\n\nSi cargamos un archivo DHAV que es mayor que MAX_DURATION_BUFFER_SIZE bytes (0x100000), por ejemplo 0x101000 bytes, entonces en [0] tenemos size = 0x101000. En [1] tenemos end_buffer_size = 0x100000, y en [2] tenemos end_buffer_pos = 0x1000.\n\nEl bucle escanea entonces hacia atrás a través del búfer buscando la etiqueta dhav; cuando se encuentra, calcularemos end_pos basándonos en un desplazamiento de 32 bits leído del búfer.\n\nPosteriormente hay una comprobación [3] de que end_pos está dentro de la sección del archivo que ha sido copiada en end_buffer, pero solo maneja correctamente los casos donde end_pos está antes del inicio del archivo o después de la sección copiada en end_buffer, y no el caso donde end_pos está dentro del archivo, pero antes de la sección copiada en end_buffer. Si proporcionamos tal desplazamiento, (end_pos - end_buffer_pos) puede sufrir un desbordamiento negativo, resultando en que el acceso subsiguiente en [4] ocurra antes del inicio de la asignación.\n\nRecomendamos actualizar a la versión 8.0 o posterior."
