MediumCVSS 4.7
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a memory leak vulnerability in libavcodec/vaapi_decode.c. Attackers can exhaust memory by supplying streams with slice parse errors, continuously leaking VA parameter and slice buffers plus driver and heap memory.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service in applications processing untrusted video files with FFmpeg and VAAPI.

Recommendation

Update FFmpeg to a patched version or restrict processing of untrusted video streams; monitor memory usage of decoding processes.

Original NVD description (English source)

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a memory leak vulnerability in libavcodec/vaapi_decode.c that allows attackers to exhaust memory by supplying streams with slice parse errors. Attackers can craft H.264 or other VAAPI-decoded video where later slices fail to parse on every frame, continuously leaking VA parameter and slice buffers plus driver and heap memory.
