CVE-2026-125182

LowCVSS 3.3
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Cook decoder joint_decode() function because cook_decode_init() does not check js_subband_start against subbands. Attackers can supply a crafted RealMedia file whose extradata causes reads past decode_buffer_0, leaking pointers and decoder state into decoded audio to help defeat ASLR.

Risk Assessment

Pointers and decoder state may be disclosed in decoded audio, potentially aiding ASLR bypass and further attacks. Affects services decoding untrusted RealMedia files with the Cook codec.

Recommendation

Update FFmpeg to a patched version. Restrict decoding of untrusted RealMedia files with the Cook codec in public-facing services.
