CVE-2023-4863 (published 2023-09-12T15:15Z)

Heap buffer overflow in libwebp in Google Chrome prior to 116.0.5845.187 and libwebp 1.3.2 allowed a remote attacker to perform an out of bounds memory write via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)

CVSS v3 base score: 8.8, HIGH (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

Weakness information:
cwe_id: CWE-787
cwe_name: Out-of-bounds Write
description: The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.

msg: Fix OOB write in BuildHuffmanTable.

First, BuildHuffmanTable is called to check if the data is valid.
If it is and the table is not big enough, more memory is allocated.

This will make sure that valid (but unoptimized because of unbalanced
codes) streams are still decodable.
