Summary

When calculating the content path in handling of MPEG-DASH manifests, there is an out-of-bounds NUL-byte write one byte past the end of the buffer. Upgrading to version 8.0 or beyond is recommended.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability may lead to memory corruption, potentially causing application crashes or arbitrary code execution by an attacker.

Recommendation

Upgrade the software to version 8.0 or later to avoid the out-of-bounds write.

Original NVD description (English source)

When calculating the content path in handling of MPEG-DASH manifests, there's an out-of-bounds NUL-byte write one byte past the end of the buffer.When we call xmlNodeGetContent below [0], it returns a buffer precisely allocated to match the string length, using strdup internally. If this buffer is not an empty string, it is assigned to root_url at [1].If the last (non-NUL) byte in this buffer is not '/' then we append '/' in-place at [2]. This will write two bytes into the buffer, starting at the last valid byte in the buffer, writing the NUL byte beyond the end of the allocated buffer. We recommend upgrading to version 8.0 or beyond.
