Summary
Schroedinger libschroedinger through 1.0.11 contains an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) in schro_params_set_default_quant_matrix. Unvalidated wavelet filter index or transform depth values let the read go past a static quantiser table. A local attacker with no privileges can deliver a crafted low-delay Dirac stream that crashes decoding applications when a user processes it.

Description from the CNA
Schroedinger libschroedinger through 1.0.11 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that allows attackers to read past a static quantiser table by supplying unvalidated wavelet filter index or transform depth values. Attackers can deliver a crafted low-delay Dirac stream with a wavelet filter index of 7 or more or transform depth of 5 or 6 to crash decoding applications.
