CVE-2026-70629 Details
Description
FFmpeg versions from 3.0 up to, but not including, 9.0 contain an uninitialized heap memory read vulnerability in the native RSCC decoder (libavcodec/rscc.c) that allows attackers to disclose heap memory contents by supplying a crafted video file with a compressed tile that decompresses fewer bytes than the declared tile geometry requires. When rscc_decode_frame() calls av_image_copy_plane() without validating the decompressed byte count against the tile dimensions, the unwritten suffix of the persistent intermediate buffer ctx->inflated_buf is copied into the decoded frame, potentially exposing data from prior heap allocations or previous decoded frames in persistent decoding services.
A vulnerability allowing heap memory disclosure has been identified in the FFmpeg RSCC decoder, present in versions 3.0 prior to 9.0. This issue arises from an uninitialized heap memory read, where the decoder fails to properly validate the decompressed byte count of a crafted video tile before copying data into the decoded frame. As a result, residual data from previous heap allocations or decoded frames can be exposed, particularly when using persistent decoding services.
Users can upgrade to FFmpeg version 9.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
