CVE-2026-125175
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 Information Disclosure via Flash Screen Video Decoder
Description
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in flashsv_decode_block() in libavcodec/flashsv.c that copies uninitialized heap memory into decoded frames when inflate output is short. Attackers can supply a crafted FLV with an FSV1 stream whose zlib block data decompresses short, then recover heap contents from the decoded or re-encoded output.
