CVE-2016-3062

29
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-3062 is a memory corruption vulnerability in the mov_read_dref function of Libav and FFmpeg, affecting versions before 11.7 and 0.11 respectively, and present in products like Debian and OpenSUSE. This high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.8) can be triggered remotely by an unauthenticated attacker through a crafted MP4 file, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution. Despite its age, a recent SecurityWeek article highlights that similar long-patched vulnerabilities still exist in popular Android apps. There is no public exploit code available (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and it is not on the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting limited active exploitation.
