MediumCVSS 4.7
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability in cbs_jpeg_assemble_fragment() that miscounts 0xff stuffing bytes in JPEG scan headers. Attackers can supply a crafted JPEG/MJPEG stream with 0xff in the scan header, triggering an av_assert0 abort when CBS-based bitstream filters process it.

Risk Assessment

A crafted media file can crash the video processing application, leading to denial of service. This affects transcoding and media processing services.

Recommendation

Update FFmpeg to a patched version. Consider validating or sandboxing processed media files.
