Summary

In FFmpeg up to version 8.1.2, there is a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the vf_hqdn3d filter. An attacker can supply a crafted video where frame resolution increases between frames and filter reinitialization is disabled, leading to heap memory corruption.

Risk Assessment

The organization risks heap memory corruption, which can lead to unpredictable application behavior, potential code execution, or data leakage.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update FFmpeg to a version containing commit 5d7112c or later.

Original NVD description (English source)

FFmpeg through 8.1.2, fixed in commit 5d7112c, contains a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the vf_hqdn3d filter that allows attackers to corrupt heap memory by supplying a crafted video whose frame resolution increases between frames when filtergraph reinitialization is disabled via the -reinit_filter 0 option. Attackers can provide a malicious video input where vf_hqdn3d.config_input() allocates undersized per-plane line-history buffers based on the initial frame width, and subsequent larger frames cause denoise_spatial() to write beyond the allocation boundary, resulting in heap memory corruption.
