Snapdragon Auto and Snapdragon Compute are the primary platforms which are used to process data and media files. If there is any error in the processing of any media file, it can corrupt the entire system. This can happen due to the presence of buffer overflow. The main reason for the corruption of system is due to the invalid MKV clip. It can be due to the presence of invalid seek header in MKV clip. In Snapdragon Auto, Snapdragon Compute, and Snapdragon Connectivity, there is a possibility to receive the error due to the presence of invalid seek header in any media file. In Snapdragon Industrial IOT and Snapdragon Mobile, there is a possibility to receive the error due to the presence of invalid seek header in any media file. In Snapdragon Wearables, there is a possibility to receive the error due to the presence of invalid seek header in any media file. The main purpose of Snapdragon Connectivity is to transfer media files from one device to another. Snapdragon Industrial IOT and Snapdragon Mobile are used for the purpose of transferring media files to the platform.

Requirements for CVE-2022-25657

The requirements for the vulnerability are:

- A malicious user who has physical access to a system with an affected device can exploit this vulnerability.
- The affected device must be able to play MKV file.

How to check if the media file has a seek header?

If the media file is not a MKV clip, then the seek header is not present.
In Snapdragon Auto and Snapdragon Connectivity, if the media file is not a MKV clip, then there is a possibility for receiving this error due to the presence of invalid seek header. In Snapdragon Industrial IOT and Snapdragon Mobile, if the media file is not a MKV clip, then there is a possibility for receiving this error due to the presence of invalid seek header. In Snapdragon Wearables, if the media file is not a MKV clip, then there is a possibility for receiving this error due to the presence of invalid seek header.
