Last modified

CVE-2026-90783 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. MKVToolNix through 101.0 contains a heap buffer overflow in the bundled avilib library's ODML superindex parser due to integer wraparound in 32-bit arithmetic. Attackers can craft a malicious AVI file with oversized entry counts that cause an undersized heap allocation, allowing a heap buffer overflow when the file is parsed with mkvmerge.. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
