A fix is available in version 3.2.1 of VVdeC. Users should upgrade to version 3.2.1 or later to remediate this vulnerability.
Description
Fraunhofer HHI VVdeC versions before 3.2.1 have a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the SEIReader::xParseSEIScalableNesting function. This flaw allows attackers to read memory beyond allocated heap buffers by miscasting SEI wrapper objects. A crafted VVC bitstream with specific nested SEI messages can trigger this issue, potentially causing a crash or unauthorized memory disclosure.
