FFmpeg 7.0+ Type Confusion in FFmpeg Function Pointer Calls (libavformat/utils.c)

[Ron E <ronaldjedgerson () gmail com>]

FFmpeg invokes function pointers through incorrect type casting, leading to
type confusion. UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer logs mismatched signatures in
utils.c:528. Crafted inputs can cause UB, misaligned function dispatch, and
possible arbitrary code execution depending on platform ABI. (FFmpeg 7.0 –
8.0)

*Impact:*

   -

   DoS in normal builds.
   -

   Potential information disclosure or RCE under certain
   compilers/architectures.



*Proof of Concept:*UBSAN_OPTIONS=print_stacktrace=1
ASAN_OPTIONS=abort_on_error=1 ./ffmpeg -i malicious.m3u8 -c copy out.mp4

*Output:*
runtime error: call to function (unknown) through pointer to incorrect
function type
