CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The vulnerability affects ESP32-audioI2S versions 3.4.4 through 4.0.0, allowing attackers to exploit a heap-based out-of-bounds read in the read_ID3_Header function. By crafting malicious MP3 files or HTTP audio streams with oversized frame size declarations, an attacker can cause device crashes or potentially expose sensitive data from adjacent heap memory. Organizations using these versions should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Original NVD Description

ESP32-audioI2S versions 3.4.4 through 4.0.0 contain a heap-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the read_ID3_Header function due to a shadowed length parameter in ID3 synchronized-lyrics processing. Attackers can craft malicious MP3 files or HTTP audio streams with oversized frame size declarations to read past allocated buffer boundaries, causing device crashes or exposing adjacent heap memory.
