Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FFmpeg versions up to 7.0.1

Description A critical issue has been found in the function pnm decode frame() in the /libavcodec/pnmdec.c library, which can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow. This can be exploited remotely, potentially allowing for remote code execution via a crafted PNM image. The issue can cause a denial of service.

Recommendations For FFmpeg versions up to 7.0.1, upgrade to version 7.0.2 to address this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the pnm decode frame() function until a patch is applied. Avoid using the affected component with untrusted input to minimize the risk of exploitation.
