CVE-2026-125267
Last modified
CVE-2026-125267 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. FFmpeg before 8.1.3 and 9.x before 9.0.2 contains a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the APAC decoder in libavcodec/apac.c caused by an unreset bitstream index. Attackers can supply a crafted APAC file whose growing bitstream_index triggers an integer overflow, bypassing the reallocation check so memcpy() corrupts heap memory or crashes the application.. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
