CVE-2026-125238

MediumCVSS 5.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a reachable assertion vulnerability in libxevd_receive_frame() in libavcodec/libxevd.c that returns success when an access unit produces no frame. Attackers can supply a crafted EVC file with truncated or picture-less access units to trigger the av_assert0() on frame->private_ref, aborting any decoding application.

Risk Assessment

A crafted EVC file can abruptly abort the decoding application, causing denial of service. This affects video processing services that handle the EVC format.

Recommendation

Update FFmpeg to a version containing the fix. Consider validating or sandboxing processed EVC files.
