AI Analysis

Impact

MP4Parser fails to validate MP4 box sizes, allowing a maliciously crafted box to cause the parser to make no forward progress and repeatedly process the same data. This results in an infinite loop that consumes CPU and memory, leading to service degradation or crash. The weakness corresponds to CWE-835, Design Flaw, Denial of Service.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the J4Care dcm4chee-arc-light product. No specific version ranges are listed, but the vendor indicates that all current releases prior to the 5.35.2 fix are vulnerable and should be updated to 5.35.2 or newer.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 classifies this flaw as High severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote, with an attacker able to supply a malformed MP4 file to a service that invokes MP4Parser, triggering the denial of service condition. Exploitation requires driver over interacting with the MP4Parser component and can manifest as excessive CPU or memory consumption, potentially disrupting normal operations.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

J4Care has provided a fix for the vulnerability. J4Care recommends users implement release 5.35.2 or later.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade J4Care dcm4chee-arc-light to release 5.35.2 or later to apply the vendor fix
  • Restrict or temporarily disable external MP4 file uploads to the system until the patch is deployed
  • Monitor system resources for abnormal CPU or memory usage that may indicate an ongoing denial of service attempt
