Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write via the cfhd_decode() transform-type-2 reconstruction path in the native CFHD decoder. An attacker can corrupt heap memory by supplying a crafted AVI file during stream probing that makes the decoder process a non-Bayer plane whose logical lowpass output width exceeds the allocated plane width.
