CVE-2026-125234

MediumCVSS 5.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an integer overflow vulnerability in wavpack_encode_init() in libavcodec/wavpackenc.c that causes an infinite loop when computing block size from sample rate and channel count. Attackers can supply a crafted audio file, such as a WAV header declaring a huge sample rate with many channels, to hang applications transcoding to WavPack.

Risk Assessment

Transcoding to WavPack can be hung by a malicious file, blocking resources and causing denial of service.

Recommendation

Update FFmpeg to a patched version or limit trust in input data when transcoding to WavPack.
