Description Marian Rehak 2026-08-05 08:00:04 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.

FFmpeg through 8.1.2, fixed in commit 5d7112c, contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in the IAMF demuxer that allows an unauthenticated attacker to cause multi-gigabyte memory allocation from a 17-byte input file by supplying a crafted count_label field. The mix_presentation_obu() function in libavformat/iamf_parse.c calls av_calloc(count_label, sizeof(*language_label)) with an attacker-controlled value before validating available OBU data, enabling an allocation amplification of approximately 126 million bytes per input byte that exhausts process memory or triggers an OOM-kill during format probing.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle.
Changing version to 45.
