CVE-2025-57614
📋 TL;DR
An integer overflow and invalid input vulnerability in rust-ffmpeg's cached method allows attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code. This affects applications using rust-ffmpeg 0.3.0 after commit 5ac0527 for video processing. Attackers can trigger undefined behavior by providing dimension parameters that are zero or exceed i32::MAX.
💻 Affected Systems
- rust-ffmpeg
📦 What is this software?
Rust Ffmpeg by Meh.schizofreni
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Remote code execution leading to complete system compromise and data exfiltration
Likely Case
Application crash and denial of service affecting video processing functionality
If Mitigated
Controlled application termination with no data loss if proper input validation is implemented
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires crafting specific input parameters but no authentication is needed
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Check GitHub issue for latest patched version
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/meh/rust-ffmpeg/issues/192
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Check the GitHub issue for patch availability
2. Update rust-ffmpeg dependency to patched version
3. Rebuild and redeploy affected applications
4. Restart services using rust-ffmpeg
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input validation wrapper
allAdd validation layer to check dimension parameters before passing to cached method
Implement parameter validation: ensure dimensions > 0 and <= i32::MAX
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict input validation for all dimension parameters
- Disable or restrict access to affected video processing functionality
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check Cargo.toml for rust-ffmpeg version 0.3.0 and verify commit hash is after 5ac0527Check Version:
