FFmpeg 2.3 through 9.0.2 Huffyuv Decoder Uninitialized Heap Memory Disclosure

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 31.10.2026 Published: 01.11.2026 Updated: 01.11.2026

FFmpeg 2.3 through 9.0.2 contains a use of uninitialized resource vulnerability in the Huffyuv decoder that allows attackers to leak heap memory into decoded pixels via short packed-BGR bitstreams. Attackers can craft a Huffyuv BGR24/BGRA video whose entropy data ends early, causing decode_slice() to add uninitialized s->temp[0] bytes into output frames, exposing heap contents.
