FFmpeg through 9.0.2 GIF Encoder Heap Buffer Overflow

Sources read

Source agreement

0/2

Evidence confidence

%44

Short explanation

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a heap buffer overflow in the GIF encoder's gif_image_write_image() in libavcodec/gif.c because shrunk_buf is sized from the first frame's linesize. Attackers can supply PAL8 video whose frame linesize grows mid-stream, causing memory corruption during GIF transcoding.

Why does it matter?

This vulnerability can lead to heap corruption with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability when successfully exploited.

What should be done?

  • Follow vendor advisories
  • Review available patch references
  • Update FFmpeg versions
