Last modified

CVE-2026-125253 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an integer overflow in cbs_vp9_split_fragment() in libavcodec/cbs_vp9.c that wraps the superframe size check on 32-bit builds. Attackers can supply a crafted VP9 packet with a forged superframe index containing near-2^32 frame sizes, causing out-of-bounds reads that crash 32-bit applications.. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
