CVE-2026-125260

HighCVSS 7.0
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in libavcodec/exrenc.c that allows attackers to corrupt heap memory when encode_scanline_rle() processes frames taller than the encoder height. Attackers can supply crafted input whose resolution grows mid-stream, transcoded to OpenEXR with RLE compression, to write pointers past the scanline array and crash the application.

Risk Assessment

Transcoding malicious input to OpenEXR may lead to heap memory corruption, crashes, or potential code execution in the transcoding application.

Recommendation

Upgrade FFmpeg to version 9.0.3 or later and avoid transcoding untrusted input to OpenEXR with RLE compression.
