Description
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Musepack SV7 decoder because mpc7_decode_init() does not validate lastframelen against MPC_FRAME_SIZE. Attackers can supply a crafted Musepack SV7 file declaring an oversized final frame, causing consumers of decoded frames to read past the audio buffer, leading to crashes or heap memory disclosure.
