Last modified
CVE-2026-125172 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in libxevd_receive_frame() in libavcodec/libxevd.c that fails to validate NAL unit length prefixes against remaining packet data. Attackers can supply crafted EVC media with oversized 4-byte NAL length prefixes, causing libxevd to read past the packet buffer, crashing the application or exposing adjacent heap memory.. EPSS estimates a 0.13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
