Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FFmpeg. By supplying a specially crafted video stream whose resolution increases mid-stream, an attacker could trigger a heap-based buffer overflow when media is processed using Intel Quick Sync Video (QSV) encoders without rescaling. This vulnerability occurs due to the reuse of an undersized internal buffer and can lead to arbitrary code execution, memory corruption, or an application crash resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-10 13:06:51 UTC
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a heap overflow vulnerability in libavcodec/qsvenc.c that allows attackers to corrupt memory by reusing an undersized pooled QSVFrame buffer when input dimensions increase. Attackers can supply crafted input whose resolution grows mid-stream, transcoded with Intel Quick Sync encoders without rescaling, to crash the application or corrupt heap memory.
