Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FFmpeg. A heap buffer overflow can occur in the LCEVC decoder when decoding a specially crafted H.264 or HEVC video file due to a missing validation of output picture dimensions against the allocated frame. This vulnerability can lead to memory corruption, potentially resulting in an application crash or arbitrary code execution.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-10 19:29:50 UTC
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in libavcodec/lcevcdec.c because LCEVC output picture dimensions are not validated against the allocated frame. Attackers can embed crafted LCEVC enhancement data with differing global configurations in H.264 or HEVC streams to corrupt heap memory in decoding applications.
