Last modified

CVE-2026-125184 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3.3/10 on the CVSS scale. FFmpeg 6.1 through 9.0.2 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in the CamStudio decoder (libavcodec/cscd.c) that copies uninitialized heap memory into decoded frames when decompressed payloads are short. Attackers can supply a crafted AVI with a CSCD stream whose LZO or zlib frames decompress to fewer bytes than the frame size, recovering heap contents from the decoded or re-encoded output.. EPSS estimates a 0.13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
