CVE-2022-25023Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Application crash via four-byte conversion overflow

Published Feb 28, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Heap-buffer overflow in AudioFile 1.1.0 allows attackers to crash a consuming application by supplying a crafted audio file. The public report identifies getIndexOfChunk as the trigger and fouBytesToInt at AudioFile.h line 1196 as the fault, but it does not disclose the malformed field or exact failed bounds check. Exploitation requires a consuming application to load the crafted file; the demonstrated consequence is an AddressSanitizer-detected out-of-bounds access and crash.
