    Vulnerability Summary

    CVE ID: CVE-2025-57612
    Severity: High (CVSS:7.5)
    Attack Vector: Remote
    Privileges Required: None
    User Interaction: None
    Impact: System compromise, potential data leakage

    Affected Products

    Product | Affected Versions

    rust-ffmpeg | 0.3.0 (after commit 5ac0527)

    How the Exploit Works

    The vulnerability stems from a null pointer dereference in the `name()` method of rust-ffmpeg 0.3.0. This method fails to handle NULL return values from the `av_get_sample_fmt_name()` C function properly. By providing an unrecognized sample format, an attacker can trigger this vulnerability and cause a DoS condition.

    Conceptual Example Code

    Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited using a malformed multimedia file:

    use std::process::Command;
    use rust_ffmpeg::format::input;
    let mut file = input("malformed_file.ff").unwrap();
    let stream = file.streams().best_audio().unwrap();
    let codec = stream.codec().unwrap();
    // Triggering the vulnerability
    let name = codec.sample_fmt().name().unwrap();

    In the above pseudocode, `malformed_file.ff` is a file with an unrecognized sample format. When processed, it causes the `name()` method to encounter a NULL value, triggering a DoS condition.
