Doc Text:
A flaw was found in ffmpeg. A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the libwebp encoder when handling mid-stream resolution changes in video streams. An attacker could exploit this flaw by tricking a user or service into processing a specially crafted media file, leading to memory corruption, application crashes causing a Denial of Service (DoS), or potentially arbitrary code execution.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-10 19:29:32 UTC 
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow in ff_libwebp_get_frame() in libwebpenc_common.c that lets attackers corrupt memory when cr_threshold is set. Attackers can supply crafted media that increases resolution mid-stream, causing memcpy() to write pixel data past the stale reference frame and crash applications.
