Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in FFmpeg up to 2.6.4/2.7.2/2.8.2 (Multimedia Processing Software). It has been classified as critical. This affects the function jpeg2000_read_main_headers of the file libavcodec/jpeg2000dec.c of the component SIZ Marker Handler. The manipulation as part of a JPEG 2000 Image leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The jpeg2000_read_main_headers function in libavcodec/jpeg2000dec.c in FFmpeg before 2.6.5, 2.7.x before 2.7.3, and 2.8.x through 2.8.2 does not enforce uniqueness of the SIZ marker in a JPEG 2000 image, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap-memory access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted image with two or more of these markers.

The weakness was released 11/26/2015 by Gynvael Coldwind (j00ru) as confirmed git commit (GIT Repository). The advisory is shared at git.videolan.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2015-8363 since 11/26/2015. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.
