Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2023-06-03 11:05 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:05 – Source website

Summary

libwebp security update

Details

This is an image format that does lossy compression of digital photographic images. WebP consists of a codec based on VP8, and a container based on RIFF. Webmasters, web developers and browser developers can use WebP to compress, archive and distribute digital images more efficiently.

Security Fix(es):

A vulnerability was found in libwebp (affected version unknown). It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code of the component Image File Handler. There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.(CVE-2023-1999)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-06-20 11:28 – Updated: 2025-02-13 16:39

Title

Use after free in libwebp

Summary

There exists a use after free/double free in libwebp. An attacker can use the ApplyFiltersAndEncode() function and loop through to free best.bw and assign best = trial pointer. The second loop will then return 0 because of an Out of memory error in VP8 encoder, the pointer is still assigned to trial and the AddressSanitizer will attempt a double free.

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
