Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write via the decoding of PCM streams. An attacker can corrupt the heap and potentially execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted streams that are processed by the MPEG decoder and PCM synth.
Note:
This is only exploitable if the payload is validated by the MPEG decoder and the PCM synth before execution. Additionally, to successfully execute the attack, the user must scan through the stream, making web live stream content (such as web radios) a very unlikely attack vector.
