Code execution through undisclosed out-of-bounds write
Published Jun 15, 2022 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Out-of-bounds write in PotPlayer 1.7.21523 build 210729 allows attackers to execute code, disclose data, or crash the player. The cited public report demonstrates a memory access violation, but neither it nor the CNA record identifies the parser, input format, function, or unchecked operation responsible for the write. No authentication or user interaction is reflected in NVD's assessment; successful exploitation permits code execution, information disclosure, or interruption of the player process.
