CVE-2026-125243
Last modified
CVE-2026-125243 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3.3/10 on the CVSS scale. FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an uninitialized memory disclosure vulnerability in ff_jpegls_decode_picture() in libavcodec/jpeglsdec.c, which decodes 16-bit line-interleaved JPEG-LS scans as 8-bit samples. Attackers can supply a crafted single-component JPEG-LS image with the ILV byte set to 1, causing decoded GRAY16 frames to expose leftover heap memory.. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
