Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FFmpeg. An out-of-bounds read can occur in the SGI (Silicon Graphics Image) encoder when transcoding a specially crafted video to SGI images, specifically a video that triggers an autorotate vflip, due to improper handling of negative linesizes. This vulnerability can lead to an application crash or limited information disclosure.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-10 13:00:34 UTC 
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the SGI encoder's encode_frame() in libavcodec/sgienc.c, where unsigned size variables mis-handle negative linesize frames. Attackers can supply a video whose display matrix triggers autorotate vflip, so transcoding to SGI images reads pixel data far outside the frame and crashes the process.
