CVE-2026-125259 PUBLISHED

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 Heap Buffer Overflow via ProRes prores_ks Encoder

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 09.11.2026 Published: 09.11.2026 Updated: 09.11.2026

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an integer overflow vulnerability in ff_prores_kostya_encode_init() that miscalculates frame_size_upper_bound using 32-bit arithmetic for large frame dimensions. Attackers can supply a high-resolution video transcoded with the prores_ks encoder, causing encode_frame() to write slices past an undersized packet buffer and corrupt heap memory.
