CVE-2026-125209

high

Description

FFmpeg before 8.1.3 and 9.x before 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the DVD subtitle encoder that underestimates RLE output size for odd-width rectangles. Attackers can supply files with crafted bitmap subtitles that, when transcoded to the dvdsub encoder, write past the output buffer and corrupt heap memory.
