Summary

JavaCV before 1.5.14 is affected. IPCameraFrameGrabber doubles a 32-bit buffer capacity without checking for overflow or bounding the parsed Content-Length, which is an integer overflow (CWE-190). An application that consumes an MJPEG response from a malicious camera endpoint or a tampered plaintext stream can receive an oversized Content-Length, which traps the frame-grabbing thread in a permanent CPU-spinning loop and denies service.

Description from the CNA

JavaCV provides Java interfaces to OpenCV, FFmpeg, and other multimedia libraries. Prior to 1.5.14, IPCameraFrameGrabber doubles a 32-bit buffer capacity without checking for overflow or bounding the parsed Content-Length. An application consumes an MJPEG response from a malicious camera endpoint or a tampered plaintext stream. The source can return an oversized Content-Length header in an MJPEG stream. Successful exploitation can trap the frame-grabbing thread in a permanent CPU-spinning loop and deny service. This issue is fixed in version 1.5.14.
