NULL POINTER DEREFERENCE Vulnerability in function AP4_Track::GetSampleIndexForTimeStampMs() - Bento4-1.5.1-628

Loginsoft-2018-1052

February 13, 2019

CVE Number

CVE-2019-8380

CWE

CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference

Product Details

Bento4/AP4 is a C++ class library designed to read and write ISO-MP4 files. Where Aac2Mp4 converts an AAC ADTS file into an MP4 file.

URL:https://github.com/axiomatic-systems/Bento4.git

Vulnerable Versions

1.5.1-628

Vulnerability Details

We observed a NULL pointer dereference occurred in AP4_Track::GetSampleIndexForTimeStampMs() located in Ap4Track.cpp.The same be triggered by sending a crafted file to the mp4audioclip binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact.

SYNOPSIS

As per our research the vulnerability exists in function AP4_Track::GetSampleIndexForTimeStampMs( ) at file Ap4Track.cpp. The function AP4_Track::GetSampleIndexForTimeStampMs( ) gets the sample index for time stamps and converts these time stamps in time scale of track’s media.The function GetSampleIndexForTimeStamps() is dereferencing with m_Sampletable which is at 0X0 .when a crafted file is passed to the binary at this line of code return m_SampleTable->GetSampleIndexForTimeStamp(ts, index); the value at m_Sampletable is at address 0x0 ,the vulnerability is being triggered as null pointer dereference.

Vulnerable code

AP4_Track::GetSampleIndexForTimeStampMs(AP4_UI32 ts_ms, AP4_Ordinal& index)
{
AP4_UI64 ts = AP4_ConvertTime(ts_ms, 1000, GetMediaTimeScale());   
return m_SampleTable->GetSampleIndexForTimeStamp(ts, index);
}
