DescriptionCVE.org

A heap buffer overflow in the av_bprint_finalize() function of FFmpeg v8.0.1 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted input.

AnalysisAI

Heap buffer overflow in FFmpeg 8.0.1's av_bprint_finalize() function enables remote denial-of-service attacks through maliciously crafted media files. Exploitation requires no authentication (CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), making this accessible to any network-based attacker who can deliver manipulated input to vulnerable FFmpeg instances. EPSS score of 0.04% (12th percentile) indicates low observed exploitation probability, and no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis. While CVSS rates this 7.5 HIGH due to availability impact, real-world risk is primarily limited to public-facing media processing services.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability exploits a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) in FFmpeg's av_bprint_finalize() function, which is part of FFmpeg's dynamic string buffer implementation used throughout the codebase for string operations. The affected code appears in the zmqsend.c utility component based on reference links. Heap buffer overflows occur when data is written beyond allocated heap memory boundaries, typically due to improper bounds checking during string operations. In FFmpeg's case, the av_bprint family of functions manages dynamically growing string buffers; a flaw in the finalize operation could allow attacker-controlled input to overflow allocated heap space. FFmpeg is a widely-deployed multimedia framework used for video/audio encoding, decoding, transcoding, streaming, and playback across desktop applications, web services, embedded systems, and command-line tools. The vulnerability specifically affects version 8.0.1, though CPE data limitations prevent comprehensive version range mapping.

RemediationAI

Upgrade FFmpeg to a patched version newer than 8.0.1 immediately for internet-facing or untrusted-input processing deployments. Consult the official FFmpeg download page at https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html for the latest stable release incorporating this fix. As of this analysis, specific patched version numbers are not confirmed in available data sources; verify with FFmpeg security advisories or release notes which version addresses CVE-2026-30999. For environments unable to upgrade immediately, implement input validation and sanitization to reject malformed media files before FFmpeg processing, deploy rate limiting on media processing endpoints to mitigate DoS impact, isolate FFmpeg processing in sandboxed containers or VMs with resource limits, and monitor for abnormal process crashes indicating exploitation attempts.
