CVE-2026-125256 (GCVE-0-2026-125256)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-11-09 19:12 – Updated: 2026-11-09 19:12

Title

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 Heap Buffer Overflow via RISC-V Vector diff_bytes Routine

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in ff_llvidenc_diff_bytes_rvv() that allows attackers to corrupt heap memory by triggering negative length values in the Huffyuv encoder. Attackers can supply RGB video narrower than 8 or 16 pixels for huffyuv transcoding on RVV-enabled RISC-V builds, causing writes past the encoder's temp buffer.

Severity

7.3 (High)

CVE-2026-125244 (GCVE-0-2026-125244)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-11-09 19:11 – Updated: 2026-11-09 19:11

Title

FFmpeg before 8.1.3 and 9.x before 9.0.2 VVC Decoder Out-of-Bounds Write via sh_entry_points

Summary

FFmpeg before 8.1.3 and 9.x before 9.0.2 contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the VVC decoder's sh_entry_points() function in libavcodec/vvc/ps.c. Attackers can supply a crafted VVC (H.266) bitstream whose SPS/PPS tile and WPP layout produces excess entry points, overflowing entry_point_start_ctu and corrupting decoder memory.

CVE-2026-125241 (GCVE-0-2026-125241)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-11-09 19:11 – Updated: 2026-11-09 19:11

Title

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 Heap Buffer Overflow via FLIC Decoder check_pixel_ptr

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in libavcodec/flicvideo.c that allows attackers to write out of bounds because check_pixel_ptr() checks only one bound with negative-stride frames. Attackers can supply a crafted FLIC file whose RLE and delta chunks write pixel data past frame storage, corrupting heap memory to crash applications or possibly execute code.

Severity

7.3 (High)

CVE-2026-125239 (GCVE-0-2026-125239)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-11-09 19:11 – Updated: 2026-11-09 19:11

Title

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 Heap Buffer Overflow via HEVC DXVA Tile Parameters

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in ff_dxva2_hevc_fill_picture_parameters() that allows attackers to corrupt memory via unbounded non-uniform tile counts. Attackers can supply crafted HEVC bitstreams with many non-uniformly spaced tiles to write controlled 16-bit values past fixed-size DXVA arrays during DXVA2, D3D11VA, or D3D12VA decoding on Windows.

CVE-2026-125229 (GCVE-0-2026-125229)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-11-09 19:11 – Updated: 2026-11-09 19:11

Title

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 Out-of-Bounds Memory Access in Huffyuv/FFVHUFF Median Predictor

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an out-of-bounds memory access vulnerability in the encode_frame() function of libavcodec/huffyuvenc.c, because encode_init() never validates minimum frame dimensions for the median predictor. Attackers can supply a tiny video, such as a 2-pixel-wide or 1-2-pixel-tall frame, that causes negative sub_median_pred lengths and out-of-bounds reads and writes when transcoded to huffyuv or ffvhuff, crashing the encoder.

Severity

8.5 (High)

CVE-2026-125219 (GCVE-0-2026-125219)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-11-09 19:11 – Updated: 2026-11-09 19:11

Title

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 Heap Buffer Overflow via HEVC VDPAU Tile Arrays

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in vdpau_hevc_start_frame() in libavcodec/vdpau_hevc.c that copies unbounded PPS tile counts into fixed-size VDPAU arrays. Attackers can supply crafted HEVC bitstreams with excessive tile columns or rows to write controlled 16-bit values past heap-allocated hwaccel data, corrupting memory in applications using VDPAU decoding.

Severity

7.3 (High)

CVE-2026-125208 (GCVE-0-2026-125208)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-11-09 19:11 – Updated: 2026-11-09 19:11

Title

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 V4L2 M2M Encoder Out-of-Bounds Write in v4l2_buffers.c

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in v4l2_buffer_swframe_to_buf() in libavcodec/v4l2_buffers.c because cumulative plane offsets are not checked against the V4L2 buffer length. Attackers can supply crafted video whose dimensions or padding cause unsigned wraparound in v4l2_bufref_to_buf(), making memcpy() write past the mmaped driver buffer during V4L2 M2M encoding.

Severity

7.3 (High)

CVE-2026-125203 (GCVE-0-2026-125203)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-11-09 19:11 – Updated: 2026-11-09 19:11

Title

FFmpeg before 8.1.3 and 9.x before 9.0.2 Heap Buffer Overflow in Cook Multichannel Decoder

Summary

FFmpeg before 8.1.3 and 9.x before 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the Cook multichannel decoder in libavcodec/cook.c that fails to verify subpacket channel masks are disjoint. Attackers can supply a crafted RealMedia Cook stream with overlapping subpacket masks, causing cook_decode_frame() to write decoded samples beyond allocated output planes in any application decoding the file.

CVE-2026-125202 (GCVE-0-2026-125202)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-11-09 19:11 – Updated: 2026-11-09 19:11

Title

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 Heap Buffer Overflow via HEVC VAAPI Tile Arrays

Summary

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in vaapi_hevc_start_frame() in libavcodec/vaapi_hevc.c that copies unbounded PPS tile counts into fixed-size arrays. Attackers can supply a crafted HEVC bitstream with a large picture and many tiles to write controlled 16-bit values past heap-allocated hwaccel data, corrupting memory in applications decoding with VAAPI.

Severity

7.3 (High)

Mitigation MIT-3

Requirements

Strategy: Language Selection

Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
For example, many languages that perform their own memory management, such as Java and Perl, are not subject to buffer overflows. Other languages, such as Ada and C#, typically provide overflow protection, but the protection can be disabled by the programmer.
Be wary that a language's interface to native code may still be subject to overflows, even if the language itself is theoretically safe.

Mitigation MIT-4.1

Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Examples include the Safe C String Library (SafeStr) by Messier and Viega [REF-57], and the Strsafe.h library from Microsoft [REF-56]. These libraries provide safer versions of overflow-prone string-handling functions.

Mitigation MIT-10

Operation Build and Compilation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index checking.
D3-SFCV (Stack Frame Canary Validation) from D3FEND [REF-1334] discusses canary-based detection in detail.

Mitigation MIT-9

Implementation

Consider adhering to the following rules when allocating and managing an application's memory:
Double check that the buffer is as large as specified.
When using functions that accept a number of bytes to copy, such as strncpy(), be aware that if the destination buffer size is equal to the source buffer size, it may not NULL-terminate the string.
Check buffer boundaries if accessing the buffer in a loop and make sure there is no danger of writing past the allocated space.
If necessary, truncate all input strings to a reasonable length before passing them to the copy and concatenation functions.

Mitigation MIT-11

Operation Build and Compilation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

Run or compile the software using features or extensions that randomly arrange the positions of a program's executable and libraries in memory. Because this makes the addresses unpredictable, it can prevent an attacker from reliably jumping to exploitable code.
Examples include Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) [REF-58] [REF-60] and Position-Independent Executables (PIE) [REF-64]. Imported modules may be similarly realigned if their default memory addresses conflict with other modules, in a process known as "rebasing" (for Windows) and "prelinking" (for Linux) [REF-1332] using randomly generated addresses. ASLR for libraries cannot be used in conjunction with prelink since it would require relocating the libraries at run-time, defeating the whole purpose of prelinking.
For more information on these techniques see D3-SAOR (Segment Address Offset Randomization) from D3FEND [REF-1335].

Mitigation MIT-12

Operation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

Use a CPU and operating system that offers Data Execution Protection (using hardware NX or XD bits) or the equivalent techniques that simulate this feature in software, such as PaX [REF-60] [REF-61]. These techniques ensure that any instruction executed is exclusively at a memory address that is part of the code segment.
For more information on these techniques see D3-PSEP (Process Segment Execution Prevention) from D3FEND [REF-1336].

Mitigation MIT-13

Implementation

Replace unbounded copy functions with analogous functions that support length arguments, such as strcpy with strncpy. Create these if they are not available.
