CVE-2026-125219

HighCVSS 7.0
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in vdpau_hevc_start_frame() in libavcodec/vdpau_hevc.c that copies unbounded PPS tile counts into fixed-size VDPAU arrays. Attackers can supply crafted HEVC bitstreams with excessive tile columns or rows to write controlled 16-bit values past heap-allocated hwaccel data, corrupting memory in applications using VDPAU decoding.

Risk Assessment

Malicious HEVC streams can corrupt memory in applications using VDPAU decoding, leading to crashes or potential code execution.

Recommendation

Update FFmpeg to a patched version or restrict decoding of untrusted HEVC streams via VDPAU until the update is applied.
