A heap overflow in the ff_sws_alphablendaway function (libswscale/alphablend.c) of FFmpeg git-master commit 722a217 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted input.
AnalysisAI
Heap-based buffer overflow in FFmpeg's libswscale library enables unauthenticated remote attackers to crash media-processing applications via a crafted input file. The vulnerable function ff_sws_alphablendaway, invoked during alpha channel compositing in git-master commit 722a217, mishandles attacker-controlled input and corrupts heap memory, producing a Denial of Service. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Triggering the vulnerability requires that the target application: (1) uses FFmpeg git-master at or near commit 722a217, (2) invokes the libswscale alpha blending code path - meaning it processes media input that contains an alpha channel component, and (3) accepts or fetches that media from an attacker-controlled source without prior validation. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) reflects a worst-case scenario where a server-side application automatically decodes untrusted media submitted by unauthenticated users - common in media transcoding services, video ingestion pipelines, and streaming platforms. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patched version is identified at time of analysis; monitor the FFmpeg trac ticket at https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/11692 and official FFmpeg release announcements for an upstream fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
