Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FFmpeg. This flaw leads to information disclosure when processing specially crafted video streams. An attacker can supply a malicious media file with prematurely terminated run-length encoded (RLE) data handled by the MSCC or SRGC video decoder. Because the decoder fails to properly initialize remaining memory, the resulting video frames expose leftover heap memory, potentially revealing sensitive information to viewers.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-10 13:05:51 UTC
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in the MSCC/SRGC decoder in libavcodec/mscc.c that outputs uninitialized heap bytes when RLE data ends early. Attackers can craft an MSCC or SRGC stream, such as in AVI, whose RLE data terminates early so the decoded frame exposes leftover heap memory to viewers of the output.
