CVE-2026-125242

MediumCVSS 4.7
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a memory leak vulnerability in libavcodec/vdpau.c that allows attackers to exhaust heap memory by aborting pictures before end_frame. Attackers can supply crafted H.264 streams with malformed NAL units that repeatedly abandon pictures, leaking the bitstream_buffers table continuously and causing denial of service.

Risk Assessment

A crafted video stream can exhaust memory and crash the decoding application, causing denial of service. This affects video processing services using VDPAU.

Recommendation

Update FFmpeg to a version containing the fix. Consider limiting resources for processes decoding untrusted media.
