Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-10 13:01:26 UTC 
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a memory exhaustion vulnerability in ape_decode_frame() in libavcodec/apedec.c that fails to enforce the 73728-sample limit for legacy APE frames. Attackers can supply a crafted legacy Monkey's Audio file declaring an enormous nblocks value to force gigabyte-scale allocations and cause denial of service.
