Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FFmpeg. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting specially crafted video input with unusually narrow dimensions for transcoding using the Huffyuv video encoder on systems with RISC-V Vector (RVV) extensions enabled. Due to improper buffer length calculations, this triggers a heap-based buffer overflow by writing past the allocated memory buffer. This issue can lead to arbitrary code execution, memory corruption, or an application crash causing a Denial of Service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-10 19:38:17 UTC
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in ff_llvidenc_diff_bytes_rvv() that allows attackers to corrupt heap memory by triggering negative length values in the Huffyuv encoder. Attackers can supply RGB video narrower than 8 or 16 pixels for huffyuv transcoding on RVV-enabled RISC-V builds, causing writes past the encoder's temp buffer.
