Subject: [oCERT-2009-002] OpenCORE insufficient bounds checking during MP3
decoding
#2009-002 OpenCORE insufficient bounds checking during MP3 decoding
Description:
OpenCORE, an open source multimedia decoding subsystem, suffers from an
integer underflow during Huffman decoding resulting in improper bounds
checking when writing to a heap allocated buffer. Decoding a specially
crafted mp3 file will result in unexpected process termination or,
potentially, arbitrary code execution due to heap corruption.
