Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write through the set_SliceHeaderIndex process. An attacker can cause a write operation to occur past the end of a heap allocation by submitting a specially crafted HEVC bitstream that manipulates the log2unitSize value after an SPS change, while keeping PicWidthInCtbsY and PicHeightInCtbsY constant but altering Log2CtbSizeY.
