CVE-2026-125254

MediumCVSS 5.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a division by zero vulnerability in the VVC decoder because ff_vvc_slice_rpl() fails to validate num_ref_idx_active against built reference list entries. Attackers can supply a crafted VVC bitstream whose excess reference indices yield a zero POC difference in ff_vvc_mv_scale(), crashing the decoding process.

Risk Assessment

May lead to decoding process crashes and denial of service in applications processing untrusted VVC streams. Impacts system availability.

Recommendation

Update FFmpeg to a version later than 9.0.2 or apply the patch. Restrict decoding of untrusted VVC streams until updated.
