CVE-2026-125172

MediumCVSS 6.1
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in libxevd_receive_frame() in libavcodec/libxevd.c that fails to validate NAL unit length prefixes against remaining packet data. Attackers can supply crafted EVC media with oversized 4-byte NAL length prefixes, causing libxevd to read past the packet buffer, crashing the application or exposing adjacent heap memory.

Risk Assessment

The application may crash or leak heap memory, creating a risk of information disclosure and availability disruption.

Recommendation

Update FFmpeg to a patched version and avoid decoding untrusted EVC files until updated.
