CVE-2026-125264

MediumCVSS 5.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in parse_frame_header() in libavcodec/jpegxl_parser.c that fails to validate TOC entry counts against remaining input. Attackers can supply a crafted JPEG XL frame header with a permuted TOC and huge toc_count, making the parser loop excessively and exhaust CPU.

Risk Assessment

May lead to CPU exhaustion and denial of service in applications processing untrusted JPEG XL files. Impacts system availability.

Recommendation

Update FFmpeg to a version later than 9.0.2 or apply the patch. Consider restricting processing of untrusted JPEG XL files until updated.
