CVE-2026-125199

MediumCVSS 5.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a memory leak vulnerability in vc1_decode_frame() in libavcodec/vc1dec.c that leaks slice buffers when init_get_bits8() fails. Attackers can supply crafted files with repeated oversized VC-1 slices exceeding the bit reader limit to exhaust memory of decoding applications.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to denial of service (DoS) by exhausting memory in applications decoding VC-1 files.

Recommendation

Update FFmpeg to a version later than 9.0.2 or apply available patches. Avoid processing untrusted VC-1 files until updated.
