Hello,

does anyone have any idea why Microsoft's HEVC (H.265) Video Extensions has so often vulnerabilities?

I have stopped counting, but by now there must have been a double-digit number of remote code execution vulnerabilities alone.

Btw... the latest one is CVE-2023-38170.

What is the reason for this?

What is so special about these extensions?

Thanks and greetings,

Martin
