CVE-2026-65704

FFmpeg 8.1.2 Out-of-Bounds Write via TY Demuxer and Shorten Decoder

Published Jul 23, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 7.3 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
FFmpeg through 8.1.2 contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability that allows attackers to cause heap corruption by supplying a crafted ffconcat file processed with the -safe 0 flag. The TY demuxer's demux_audio() function decrements packet size without bounds checking, producing a negative size value that is passed to memcpy() in shorten_decode_frame(), where conversion to size_t wraps the value to near SIZE_MAX and triggers reads beyond the source allocation and writes far beyond the Shorten decoder's bitstream buffer.
