Ffmpeg: ffmpeg: denial of service and potential arbitrary code execution via signed integer overflow in dvd subtitle parser

Published Apr 15, 2026 · Updated Apr 15, 2026 · Assigned by redhat

Description

A flaw was found in FFmpeg. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted MPEG-PS/VOB media file containing a malicious DVD subtitle stream. This vulnerability is caused by a signed integer overflow in the DVD subtitle parser's fragment reassembly bounds checks, leading to a heap out-of-bounds write. Successful exploitation can result in a denial of service (DoS) due to an application crash, and potentially lead to arbitrary code execution.
