Last modified

CVE-2026-124307 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Fraunhofer HHI VVdeC before 3.2.1 contains a heap use-after-free vulnerability that allows attackers to corrupt memory by redefining an ALF adaptation parameter set id still referenced by slices. Attackers can supply a crafted VVC bitstream that, with multithreaded decoding, makes worker threads dereference freed APS objects in CABACReader::readAlf() and AdaptiveLoopFilter::reconstructCoeff(), causing crashes or heap corruption.. EPSS estimates a 0.11% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
