Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FFmpeg. An attacker could exploit this information disclosure vulnerability by providing a specially crafted Flash Video (FLV) file containing compressed stream data that produces an incomplete decompression. When handling the malformed stream, FFmpeg copies uninitialized heap memory into decoded video frames, allowing an attacker to extract sensitive memory contents from the decoded or re-encoded output.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-10 13:02:50 UTC
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in flashsv_decode_block() in libavcodec/flashsv.c that copies uninitialized heap memory into decoded frames when inflate output is short. Attackers can supply a crafted FLV with an FSV1 stream whose zlib block data decompresses short, then recover heap contents from the decoded or re-encoded output.
