CVE-2026-125223

MediumCVSS 4.7
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg 8.0 through 9.0.2 contains a memory leak vulnerability in the VP9 decoder that allows attackers to exhaust memory because vp9_decode_frame() skips resetting the CBS fragment on error paths. Attackers can supply a crafted VP9 stream with invalid tile sizes decoded with slice threading to leak packet buffers and units, exhausting memory in the decoding application.

Risk Assessment

VP9 decoding can exhaust memory, causing crashes or denial of service in the application.

Recommendation

Update FFmpeg to a patched version or limit memory resources for VP9 decoding.
