Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Low risk

9th percentile - higher than 9% of all known CVEs

Summary

MKVToolNix through 101.0 contains a heap buffer overflow in the bundled avilib library's ODML superindex parser due to integer wraparound in 32-bit arithmetic. Attackers can craft a malicious AVI file with oversized entry counts, causing a heap buffer overflow when parsed by mkvmerge.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can deliver a malicious AVI file that, when processed by mkvmerge, triggers a heap buffer overflow, potentially leading to code execution or application crash. The risk is high in environments processing untrusted media files.

Recommendation

Update MKVToolNix to a version later than 101.0 if available. Avoid processing untrusted AVI files until a patch is applied.

Original NVD description (English source)

MKVToolNix through 101.0 contains a heap buffer overflow in the bundled avilib library's ODML superindex parser due to integer wraparound in 32-bit arithmetic. Attackers can craft a malicious AVI file with oversized entry counts that cause an undersized heap allocation, allowing a heap buffer overflow when the file is parsed with mkvmerge.
