CVE-2026-75143
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
FFmpeg before commit 1c10bcc contains a heap buffer overflow in the RIST protocol reader (libavformat/librist.c). librist_read() ignored its size argument and copied the full received payload length into the caller-provided destination buffer, overflowing it when the payload exceeds the destination size. This is reachable via the async:rist:// URL scheme, where the async wrapper supplies a smaller buffer than the received payload. A remote RIST sender can trigger the overflow by sending a packet whose payload exceeds the caller buffer size.

"value": "FFmpeg antes del commit 1c10bcc contiene un desbordamiento de búfer de montón en el lector del protocolo RIST (libavformat/librist.c). librist_read() ignoró su argumento de tamaño y copió la longitud completa de la carga útil recibida en el búfer de destino proporcionado por el llamador, desbordándolo cuando la carga útil excede el tamaño del destino. Esto es alcanzable a través del esquema de URL async:rist://, donde el envoltorio asíncrono suministra un búfer más pequeño que la carga útil recibida. Un remitente RIST remoto puede activar el desbordamiento enviando un paquete cuya carga útil excede el tamaño del búfer del llamador."
