FFmpeg through 9.0.2 Heap Buffer Overflow via LCEVC Enhancement Decoding

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

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in libavcodec/lcevcdec.c because LCEVC output picture dimensions are not validated against the allocated frame. Attackers can embed crafted LCEVC enhancement data with differing global configurations in H.264 or HEVC streams to corrupt heap memory in decoding applications.
