Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read in the UVC H.264 extension-unit parser due to failure to validate descriptor length before accessing the GUID field. An attacker can cause a heap read beyond allocated bounds and trigger a denial of service by connecting a malicious USB video camera during camera stream setup.
