CVE-2018-6406 describes a heap-based buffer over-read and potential out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the ParseVP9SuperFrameIndex function of libwebm through 2018-01-30. This flaw, stemming from a lack of validation for child_frame_length data in .webm files, allows remote attackers to trigger information leaks, denial of service, or other unspecified impacts. With a CVSS score of 8.8 (High), it can be exploited over a network with low attack complexity, requiring user interaction.
