DescriptionCVE.org

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in FFmpeg's RASC video decoder. The decode_move() function initializes a read pointer into a decompressed buffer, but a subsequent reallocation of that same buffer during move-table processing leaves the pointer dangling. An attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted AVI file containing a malicious RASC video stream. When a user opens or plays the file, the decoder reads from freed heap memory, which could lead to a denial of service (crash).

AnalysisAI

Use-after-free in FFmpeg's RASC video decoder exposes Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI 3 and Red Hat OpenShift AI deployments to denial-of-service attacks via crafted media files. The decode_move() function retains a raw pointer into a heap-allocated decompressed buffer that is subsequently reallocated during move-table processing, leaving the pointer dangling; reading through it crashes the process. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The victim must open or play a specially crafted AVI container file that embeds a malicious RASC video stream; this is the explicit trigger described in the CVE. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) is consistent with the described vulnerability: network delivery of a malicious file with no authentication prerequisite, but requiring a user to open it (UI:R). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malicious AVI file embedding a RASC video stream whose move-table data is designed to trigger a buffer reallocation during decode_move() processing, invalidating the read pointer. The file is delivered to a victim - for example, via email attachment, shared storage, or a web link - and when the victim opens it in a media player or application backed by the affected FFmpeg build, the decoder crashes, terminating the process. …
Remediation Apply the vendor-supplied fix from Red Hat as documented at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-12706; the exact patched package version is not independently confirmed from the available data and should be verified directly in that advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
