CVE-2026-75143

FFmpeg Heap Buffer Overflow via RIST Protocol Reader

Published Aug 19, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 9.3 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
FFmpeg before commit 1c10bcc contains a heap buffer overflow in the RIST protocol reader (libavformat/librist.c). librist_read() ignored its size argument and copied the full received payload length into the caller-provided destination buffer, overflowing it when the payload exceeds the destination size. This is reachable via the async:rist:// URL scheme, where the async wrapper supplies a smaller buffer than the received payload. A remote RIST sender can trigger the overflow by sending a packet whose payload exceeds the caller buffer size.
