CVE-2012-5144

Published: 12 December 2012

Google Chrome before 23.0.1271.97, and Libav 0.7.x before 0.7.7 and 0.8.x before 0.8.5, do not properly perform AAC decoding, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to "an off-by-one overwrite when switching to LTP profile from MAIN."

Notes

AuthorNote
jdstrand
stack memory suggests stack-protector could reduce this to a denial
of service
mdeslaur
code is different in 0.5.x
