Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FFmpeg. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted Electronic Arts (EA) media file, an attacker can trigger an integer overflow and subsequent null pointer dereference within the video decoder. Successful exploitation causes the application to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-10 20:07:56 UTC
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in tqi_decode_frame() in libavcodec/eatqi.c, which ignores init_get_bits() failure after an integer overflow. Attackers can supply a crafted EA file with a pIQT chunk carrying a 2^28-byte payload to crash the process, causing denial of service.
