CVE-2026-125073— FFmpeg through 9.0.2 Infinite Loop Denial of Service via IMC/IAC Decoder

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 9.0.2 及更早版本在 libavcodec/imc.c 的 bit_allocation() 函数中存在无限循环漏洞。攻击者可通过提供具有负比特预算的音频块，导致解码进程挂起。攻击者可构造 IMC 或 IAC 格式的音频文件，使 freebits 变量变为负数，从而触发无法终止的缩减循环，导致 CPU 占用率达到 100%。

Vulnerability Title
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 Infinite Loop Denial of Service via IMC/IAC Decoder
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an infinite loop vulnerability in bit_allocation() in libavcodec/imc.c that allows attackers to hang decoding by supplying audio blocks with a negative bit budget. Attackers can craft IMC or IAC audio files that drive freebits negative, causing the reduction loop to never terminate and consuming 100% CPU.
