Summary

FFmpeg before 2.8.12, 3.0.x and 3.1.x before 3.1.9, 3.2.x before 3.2.6, and 3.3.x before 3.3.2 does not properly restrict HTTP Live Streaming filename extensions and demuxer names, which allows attackers to read arbitrary files via crafted playlist data.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Subverting Environment Variable Values
    The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
  • Footprinting
    An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
  • Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible)
    An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
  • Browser Fingerprinting
    An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
  • Session Credential Falsification through Prediction
    This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

    descriptionSeveral security vulnerabilities were corrected in the libav multimedia library which may lead to a denial of service, information disclosure or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed file is processed. CVE-2017-9993 Libav does not properly restrict HTTP Live Streaming filename extensions and demuxer names, which allows attackers to read arbitrary files via crafted playlist data. CVE-2017-9994 libavcodec/webp.c in Libav does not ensure that pix_fmt is set, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file, related to the vp8_decode_mb_row_no_filter and pred8x8_128_dc_8_c functions. CVE-2017-14055 denial of service in mv_read_header() due to lack of an EOF (End of File) check might cause huge CPU and memory consumption. CVE-2017-14056 denial of service in rl2_read_header() due to lack of an EOF (End of File) check might cause huge CPU and memory consumption. CVE-2017-14057 denial of service in asf_read_marker() due to lack of an EOF (End of File) check might cause huge CPU and memory consumption. CVE-2017-14170 denial of service in mxf_read_index_entry_array() due to lack of an EOF (End of File) check might cause huge CPU consumption. CVE-2017-14171 denial of service in nsv_parse_NSVf_header() due to lack of an EOF (End of File) check might cause huge CPU consumption. CVE-2017-14767 The sdp_parse_fmtp_config_h264 function in libavformat/rtpdec_h264.c mishandles empty sprop-parameter-sets values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted sdp file. CVE-2017-15672 The read_header function in libavcodec/ffv1dec.c allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted MP4 file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read. CVE-2017-17130 The ff_free_picture_tables function in libavcodec/mpegpicture.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file, related to vc1_decode_i_blocks_adv. CVE-2018-6621 The decode_frame function in libavcodec/utvideodec.c in Libav allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out of array read) via a crafted AVI file. CVE-2018-7557 The decode_init function in libavcodec/utvideodec.c in Libav allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Out of array read) via an AVI file with crafted dimensions within chroma subsampling data. CVE-2018-14394 libavformat/movenc.c in Libav allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash caused by a divide-by-zero error) with a user crafted Waveform audio file. CVE-2018-1999010 Libav contains multiple out of array access vulnerabilities in the mms protocol that can result in attackers accessing out of bound data. For Debian 8
