CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedFFmpeg versions up to 9.0.2 are vulnerable to an infinite loop in the ff_rtsp_connect() function, which fails to impose a limit on RTSP 3xx redirects. This flaw allows attackers to exploit an RTSP server by issuing repeated 302 redirects, leading to CPU resource exhaustion. Organizations using FFmpeg for media streaming should prioritize patching this vulnerability to prevent potential denial-of-service conditions.

Original NVD Description
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an infinite loop vulnerability in ff_rtsp_connect() in libavformat/rtsp.c that follows RTSP 3xx redirects without any redirect limit. Attackers controlling an RTSP server can answer every request with a 302 redirect to itself or another server, causing endless reconnects that saturate a CPU core.
