CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

FFmpeg versions 8.0 through 8.1.2 are vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow in the Vulkan HEVC hardware decoder, which can be exploited by remote attackers through specially crafted HEVC/H.265 bitstreams. This vulnerability allows attackers to overwrite return addresses and adjacent stack frames, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. Organizations utilizing FFmpeg for media processing, especially those handling untrusted video streams, should prioritize patching this vulnerability to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Original NVD Description

FFmpeg versions 8.0 through 8.1.2 contains a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the Vulkan HEVC hardware decoder that allows remote attackers to overwrite return addresses and adjacent stack frames by supplying a crafted HEVC/H.265 bitstream. Attackers can embed a malicious vps_num_hrd_parameters value exceeding HEVC_MAX_SUB_LAYERS in any supported container format to overflow stack-allocated arrays in the vk_hevc_end_frame function, potentially achieving arbitrary code execution.
