CVE-2026-64832
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
FFmpeg versions 4.4 through 8.1.2 contain a double-free vulnerability in the NVIDIA NVDEC hardware decoder within libavcodec/nvdec.c that allows attackers to trigger memory corruption by supplying a crafted video file. When no decoder surfaces remain, the ff_nvdec_start_frame_sep_ref error path frees memory via nvdec_fdd_priv_free while the calling layer subsequently frees the same frame description data, resulting in a double-free of the underlying decoder context in any FFmpeg-based application using NVDEC hardware-accelerated decoding.

"value": "Las versiones de FFmpeg 4.4 a 8.1.2 contienen una vulnerabilidad de doble liberación de memoria (double-free) en el decodificador de hardware NVIDIA NVDEC dentro de libavcodec/nvdec.c que permite a los atacantes provocar corrupción de memoria al proporcionar un archivo de video manipulado. Cuando no quedan superficies de decodificador, la ruta de error ff_nvdec_start_frame_sep_ref libera memoria a través de nvdec_fdd_priv_free mientras que la capa llamante libera posteriormente los mismos datos de descripción de fotograma, lo que resulta en una doble liberación de memoria (double-free) del contexto del decodificador subyacente en cualquier aplicación basada en FFmpeg que utilice la decodificación acelerada por hardware NVDEC."
