CVE-2026-70632

FFmpeg 4.4 < 9.0 Heap Out-of-Bounds Write in CFHD Decoder via AVI Demuxing

Published Aug 6, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
FFmpeg versions from 4.4 up to, but not including, 9.0 contain an out-of-bounds heap write vulnerability in the native GoPro CineForm HD (CFHD) decoder that allows remote attackers to corrupt heap memory by supplying a crafted AVI file during stream probing. The cfhd_decode() function fails to enforce the non-Bayer logical output-width invariant in the transform-type-2 reconstruction path, causing horiz_filter_clip() to write oversized 16-bit sample rows far beyond the allocated output frame buffer, which can be escalated to arbitrary code execution via overwrite of a live cleanup callback pointer.
