Type Confusion Vulnerability in MP4Atom::factory in MP4v2 2.0.0

CVE-2018-14379 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:M/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

MP4Atom::factory in mp4atom.cpp in MP4v2 2.0.0 incorrectly uses the MP4ItemAtom data type in a certain case where MP4DataAtom is required, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted MP4 file, because access to the data structure has different expectations about layout as a result of this type confusion.
