An issue was discovered in Dolby UDC 4.5 through 4.13. A crash of the DD+ decoder process can occur when a malformed DD+ bitstream is processed. When Evolution data is processed by evo_priv.c from the DD+ bitstream, the decoder writes that data into a buffer. The length calculation for a write can overflow due to an integer wraparound. This can lead to the allocated buffer being too small, and the out-of-bounds check of the subsequent write to be ineffective, leading to an out-of-bounds write.

The Dolby DAX2 and DAX3 API services are vulnerable to a privilege escalation vulnerability that allows a normal user to get arbitrary system privileges, because these services have .NET code for DCOM. This affects Dolby Audio X2 (DAX2) 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.4.3, and 1.4.4 and Dolby Audio X3 (DAX3) 1.0 and 1.1. An example affected driver is Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.7898 on a Lenovo P50.

The Dolby Audio X2 (DAX2) API service before 0.8.8.90 on Windows allows local users to gain privileges.
