CVE-2018-6406  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade webmproject/libwebm to version 1.0.0.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The function ParseVP9SuperFrameIndex in common/libwebm_util.cc in libwebm through 2018-01-30 does not validate the child_frame_length data obtained from a .webm file, which allows remote attackers to cause an information leak or a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and later out-of-bounds write), or possibly have unspecified other impact.
