Description
A vulnerability was determined in FLVMeta up to 1.2.2. Affected by this vulnerability is the function amf_object_get of the file src/amf.c of the component AMF Object Parsing. This manipulation causes null pointer dereference. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. Patch name: 52642f7dfb76ec7334016622dde60b1ae963d79b. To fix this issue, it is recommended to deploy a patch. The project maintainer doubts the security impact: "While I acknowledged the bugs and provided fixes, I have yet to see any way to exploit these alleged vulnerabilities."

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw is a null pointer dereference in the amf_object_get function of FLVMeta’s AMF Object Parsing module. When the component encounters malformed AMF data, it accesses a null reference, causing the application to crash. The description states that the attack can be initiated remotely and that an exploit has been publicly disclosed, implying that remote attackers can trigger the crash and potentially cause a denial of service on systems running the vulnerable library.

Affected Systems

The affected product is FLVMeta, up to version 1.2.2. Any installation of FLVMeta 1.2.2 or earlier that parses AMF objects is susceptible. The vulnerability is tied to the generic FLVMeta component, not a product line or vendor beyond the repository owner.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate impact, primarily representing application instability rather than data compromise. EPSS is not available, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV. The attack vector is remote, as malformed input can be supplied over a network or through ingestion of untrusted streams. Exploitation requires that the target host processes AMF data from an attacker, making the risk dependent on the exposure of FLVMeta to external inputs.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the official patch corresponding to commit 52642f7dfb76ec7334016622dde60b1ae963d79b or upgrade to a version newer than 1.2.2.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, isolate the FLVMeta component behind a firewall or restrict network access to only trusted sources that provide AMF data.
  • Continue to monitor the repository for additional security notices and consider disabling AMF parsing on systems that do not require it until a verified fix is available.
