Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions VideoLAN VLC media player versions through 3.0.7

Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer over-read in the lavc CopyPicture function, located in modules/codec/avcodec/video.c, due to improper validation of the width and height. This could allow a remote attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.

Recommendations For versions through 3.0.7, consider updating to a version that addresses this issue, as the current version does not properly validate the width and height, leading to a heap-based buffer over-read. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
