CVE-2026-125255— FFmpeg through 9.0.2 Use-After-Free in MJPEG Hardware-Accelerated Decoding

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 中存在一个释放后使用（Use-After-Free）漏洞。攻击者可以通过发送一个没有 preceding SOI（Start of Image）标记的 SOF（Start of Frame）标记，触发对已释放缓冲区的读取。攻击者可构造恶意的 MJPEG 流，致使 函数将已失效的 指针传递给硬件加速解码器（如 NVDEC），从而导致应用程序崩溃或泄露堆内存内容。

Vulnerability Title
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 Use-After-Free in MJPEG Hardware-Accelerated Decoding
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a use after free vulnerability in libavcodec/mjpegdec.c that allows attackers to trigger freed buffer reads by sending a SOF marker without a preceding SOI. Attackers can supply crafted MJPEG streams causing ff_mjpeg_decode_sof() to pass a stale raw_image_buffer pointer to hwaccel decoders like NVDEC, crashing applications or leaking heap contents.
