CVE-2026-65705

FFmpeg 3.4 - 8.1.2 vf_floodfill Out-of-Bounds Write via filter_frame()

Published Jul 23, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 7.3 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
FFmpeg versions 3.4 through 8.1.2 contain an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the vf_floodfill video filter that allows attackers to corrupt heap memory by supplying a dynamically sized video stream with filtergraph reinitialization disabled via -reinit_filter 0. When config_input() allocates the points traversal stack based on initial frame dimensions and a subsequent larger frame is processed, filter_frame() performs flood-fill neighbor pushes beyond the original allocation boundary, resulting in heap corruption and process crash with potential for code execution depending on heap layout and process hardening.
