CVE-2026-125249
FFmpeg 7.1 through 9.0.2 Heap Out-of-Bounds Write via Vulkan Slice Buffer Sizing
Description
FFmpeg 7.1 through 9.0.2 contains an integer overflow in ff_vk_decode_add_slice() in libavcodec/vulkan_decode.c that miscalculates the Vulkan hwaccel bitstream buffer size. Attackers can supply a crafted stream with over 2 GiB of slice data per frame, causing memcpy() to write past a smaller pooled host-mapped buffer.
