⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers could read sensitive memory contents leading to information disclosure, or cause denial of service through system crashes.
Likely Case
Local attackers could cause application crashes or read limited memory contents from the media subsystem.
If Mitigated
With proper memory protections and sandboxing, impact would be limited to application-level denial of service.
🎯 Exploit Status
Out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities typically require local access and specific conditions to exploit effectively.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
