- A stack-buffer-overflow occurs in Atomicparsley 20210124.204813.840499f through APar_readX() in src/util.cpp while parsing a crafted mp4 file because of the missing boundary check. (CVE-2021-37231)

- A stack overflow vulnerability occurs in Atomicparsley 20210124.204813.840499f through APar_read64() in src/util.cpp due to the lack of buffer size of uint32_buffer while reading more bytes in APar_read64.
(CVE-2021-37232)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Previously, the wez AtomicParsley fork was packaged in Gentoo as media-video/atomicparsley-wez. This fork is now packaged as media-video/atomicparsley, so users of the fork's package should now depclean it: # emerge --ask
--depclean media-video/atomicparsley-wez All AtomicParsley users should upgrade to the latest version, which is a packaging of the wez AtomicParsley fork: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=media-video/atomicparsley-0.9.6_p20210715_p151551
