FFmpeg before 8.1.3 and 9.x before 9.0.2 Heap Out-of-Bounds Write via APAC Decoder

Published Nov 9, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
FFmpeg before 8.1.3 and 9.x before 9.0.2 contains a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the APAC decoder in libavcodec/apac.c caused by an unreset bitstream index. Attackers can supply a crafted APAC file whose growing bitstream_index triggers an integer overflow, bypassing the reallocation check so memcpy() corrupts heap memory or crashes the application.
