Alexkane e2740a3e0d avutil/opt: validate the operand of a flags update before casting it
set_string_number() parses the operand of a "+x" or "-x" flags update as
a double and casts it to int64_t to OR it into, or mask it out of, the
current flags. Only the combined value then reaches the range check in
write_number(), so the operand itself was never validated:

- A value outside the int64_t range, or inf, makes the conversion
  undefined behaviour (C17 6.3.1.4). UBSan reports it for
  av_opt_set(ctx, "flags", "+77777777777777777777", 0), and what the
  cast produces depends on the target: measured on AArch64, where it
  saturates, "+1e20" happened to be rejected downstream while "-1e20"
  was accepted.
- A fractional operand is silently truncated, so "+1.5" and "-1.5" are
  accepted although "1.5" is refused as not being a valid set of flags.

Run the existing flags range check on the operand before the cast, so an
invalid operand returns AVERROR(ERANGE) exactly like an invalid absolute
value, as av_opt_set() documents, and add the four cases to fate-opt.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
