Quick assessment

Affected
FFmpeg FFmpeg
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

FFmpeg 2.1 至 9.0.2 版本中的 PCX 解码器存在未初始化资源使用漏洞。攻击者可利用被截断的 RLE（游程编码）扫描线，导致堆内存泄露。攻击者可构造一个 RLE 数据提前结束的 PCX 图像，使得 函数将未初始化的 缓冲区内容复制到可见的解码像素中。

Vulnerability Title
FFmpeg 2.1 through 9.0.2 Uninitialized Memory Leak via PCX Decoder
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
FFmpeg 2.1 through 9.0.2 contains a use of uninitialized resource vulnerability in the PCX decoder that allows attackers to leak heap memory through truncated RLE scanlines. Attackers can craft a PCX image whose RLE data ends early, causing pcx_decode_frame() to copy uninitialized av_malloc() buffer contents into visible decoded pixels.
