Overview

A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the avcinfo tool of Bento4, identified as CVE-2022-3665. The vulnerability was reported on October 10, 2022, affecting the Bento4 master branch and version 1.6.0-639 (GitHub Issue).

Technical details

Two distinct heap buffer overflow bugs were identified in the avcinfo tool. The first bug involves a READ operation of size 8 at address 0x602000000038, occurring in the AP4_BitStream::WriteBytes function. The second bug manifests as a READ operation of size 1 at address 0x602000000011 in the main function. Both vulnerabilities are triggered through improper buffer handling in the AP4_DataBuffer::ReallocateBuffer function (GitHub Issue).

Impact

The heap buffer overflow vulnerabilities could potentially lead to memory corruption, program crashes, and in some cases, arbitrary code execution. The bugs specifically affect the avcinfo tool's ability to properly handle certain input files, potentially compromising the security of systems using this component (GitHub Issue).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users are recommended to update to the latest version of Bento4 that contains the fix for these vulnerabilities. For developers working with the source code, the issues can be reproduced and verified using clang compiler version 10.01 with Address Sanitizer enabled (GitHub Issue).
