CVE-2026-125210

HighCVSS 7.0
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in aribcaption_trans_text_subtitle() in libavcodec/libaribcaption.c when decoding with sub_type text. Attackers can supply a crafted ARIB STD-B24 caption stream with zero regions, causing a pointer write past a zero-sized sub->rects allocation and corrupting heap memory.

Risk Assessment

Heap memory corruption can lead to application crashes or potential code execution when processing untrusted media files. Organizations processing ARIB captions are exposed to attacks via supplied files.

Recommendation

Update FFmpeg to a version containing the fix (later than 9.0.2) and avoid decoding untrusted ARIB caption streams. Consider running FFmpeg in an isolated environment.
