CVE-2026-90783

MKVToolNix through 101.0 Heap Buffer Overflow via avilib ODML Superindex Integer Wraparound

Published Sep 13, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
MKVToolNix through 101.0 contains a heap buffer overflow in the bundled avilib library's ODML superindex parser due to integer wraparound in 32-bit arithmetic. Attackers can craft a malicious AVI file with oversized entry counts that cause an undersized heap allocation, allowing a heap buffer overflow when the file is parsed with mkvmerge.
