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 及以下版本在 中存在内存泄漏漏洞。攻击者可构造包含切片解析错误的视频流，导致系统内存耗尽。具体而言，攻击者可制作 H.264 或其他使用 VAAPI 解码的视频，使其在每一帧的后续切片解析均失败，从而持续泄漏 VA 参数缓冲区、切片缓冲区，以及驱动程序和堆内存。

Vulnerability Title
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 VAAPI Memory Leak via Abandoned Picture Buffers
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a memory leak vulnerability in libavcodec/vaapi_decode.c that allows attackers to exhaust memory by supplying streams with slice parse errors. Attackers can craft H.264 or other VAAPI-decoded video where later slices fail to parse on every frame, continuously leaking VA parameter and slice buffers plus driver and heap memory.
