CVE-2026-29508

HighCVSS 8.8
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

ReadyMedia (formerly MiniDLNA) versions 1.3.0 through 1.3.3 contain a stack-based buffer overflow. A remote attacker can corrupt stack memory by supplying a crafted DFF audio file with an oversized PROP chunk size that is used unvalidated to allocate a variable-length stack array and read file data into it.

Risk Assessment

Placing a malicious DFF file in a directory monitored by ReadyMedia triggers automatic parsing via inotify, potentially leading to remote code execution or denial of service. This is especially dangerous in environments exposing media libraries over the network.

Recommendation

Upgrade ReadyMedia to a version newer than 1.3.3 or apply the vendor patch. Until then, restrict access to monitored directories and consider disabling automatic parsing of untrusted files.

Original NVD description (English source)

ReadyMedia (formerly MiniDLNA) versions 1.3.0 through 1.3.3 contain a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows remote attackers to corrupt stack memory by crafting a malicious DFF audio file with an oversized PROP chunk size value that is used unvalidated to allocate a variable-length stack array and read file data into it. Attackers can place a crafted DFF file in a directory monitored by ReadyMedia to trigger automatic parsing via inotify, achieving remote code execution on unprotected builds or denial of service on hardened builds with stack protections.
