What is CVE-2022-1441?
CVE-2022-1441 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Debian Debian Linux, published on 25 Apr 2022. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
MP4Box is a component of GPAC-2.0.0, which is a widely-used third-party package on RPM Fusion. When MP4Box tries to parse a MP4 file, it calls the function `diST_box_read()` to read from video. In this function, it allocates a buffer `str` with fixed length. However, content read from `bs` is controllable by user, so is the length, which causes a buffer overflow.
