CVE-2018-14403
The resulting type confusion can cause out-of-bounds memory access.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.91%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
MP4NameFirstMatches in mp4util.cpp in MP4v2 2.0.0 mishandles substrings of atom names, leading to use of an inappropriate data type for associated atoms. The resulting type confusion can cause out-of-bounds memory access.
