CVE-2026-64835 Details
Description
FFmpeg versions 4.4 through 8.1.2 contain an out-of-bounds memory access vulnerability in the ADX audio decoder within libavcodec/adxdec.c that allows attackers to trigger both out-of-bounds reads and writes by supplying a crafted ADX or AAX audio file with a mid-stream channel layout change. When AV_PKT_DATA_NEW_EXTRADATA side data is received mid-stream, the adx_decode_frame function re-parses the stream header but fails to update the internal channel state, causing subsequent decoding operations to access the prev[] state array using a stale channel count.
A memory access vulnerability allowing out-of-bounds reads and writes has been identified in the ADX audio decoder of FFmpeg. This issue affects versions 4.4 through 8.1.2. The vulnerability arises when a crafted ADX or AAX audio file is played, introducing a mid-stream channel layout change. The adx_decode_frame function, upon receiving AV_PKT_DATA_NEW_EXTRADATA side data, re-parses the stream header but neglects to update the internal channel state. This oversight leads to subsequent decoding operations accessing the prev[] state array with an outdated channel count, creating the potential for memory corruption.
Users can upgrade to FFmpeg versions 8.1.3 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
