CVE-2026-125173

MediumCVSS 5.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a memory leak vulnerability in libxevd_receive_frame() in libavcodec/libxevd.c that fails to free pkt_au when an access unit produces no picture. Attackers can supply a crafted EVC stream with many access units containing only parameter sets or non-frame NAL units to exhaust memory in the decoding application.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can cause memory exhaustion and crash the decoding application, posing a threat to availability of services processing untrusted media.

Recommendation

Update FFmpeg to a version containing the fix or restrict processing of untrusted EVC streams. Monitor memory usage of decoding processes.
