CVE-2022-1253Network attack vector

Memory corruption via unchecked HRD count

Published Apr 6, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Heap-based buffer overflow in libde265 1.0.8 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to corrupt decoder memory via crafted HEVC data. The VUI HRD parser accepts cpb_cnt_minus1 values above 31, then continues processing instead of returning the range error to the sequence-parameter-set reader. The affected application must pass attacker-controlled HEVC VUI HRD data to the library; the public record does not establish a specific post-corruption outcome.
