FFmpeg through 9.0.2 Uninitialized Memory Disclosure via JPEG-LS Decoder

Published Nov 9, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 4.8 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an uninitialized memory disclosure vulnerability in ff_jpegls_decode_picture() in libavcodec/jpeglsdec.c, which decodes 16-bit line-interleaved JPEG-LS scans as 8-bit samples. Attackers can supply a crafted single-component JPEG-LS image with the ILV byte set to 1, causing decoded GRAY16 frames to expose leftover heap memory.
