CVE-2026-125207

MediumCVSS 5.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an uncontrolled memory allocation vulnerability in the Interplay ACM decoder that allows attackers to exhaust memory via an attacker-controlled block size. Attackers can supply a crafted ACM file with maximum level and row count in extradata, making decode_init() allocate nearly a gigabyte and deny service.

Risk Assessment

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

Recommendation

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