Description
FFmpeg before 8.1.3 and 9.x before 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the Cook multichannel decoder in libavcodec/cook.c that fails to verify subpacket channel masks are disjoint. Attackers can supply a crafted RealMedia Cook stream with overlapping subpacket masks, causing cook_decode_frame() to write decoded samples beyond allocated output planes in any application decoding the file.
