Description Avinash Hanwate 2026-07-03 04:51:37 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in FFmpeg's libavcodec library, specifically in the MagicYUV decoder, allows denial-of-service and, in some cases, can be exploited for remote code execution.

 This vulnerability is associated with the file libavcodec/magicyuv.C.



This issue affects FFmpeg before version 8.1.2.
