AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 15, 2026

Out-of-bounds read in FFmpeg's convolution video filter (libavfilter/vf_convolution.c, function setup_3x3) affects releases 4.4.0–4.4.6, 5.1.0–5.1.8, 6.1.0–6.1.4, 7.1.0–7.1.3 and 8.0.0–8.0.1, allowing crafted media input to read past allocated buffers and potentially disclose memory or crash the process. Publicly available exploit code exists via the FFmpeg issue tracker, and the fix commit (8970658472d1 / e24b9820b4) has been published, with corrected releases 4.4.7, 5.1.9, 6.1.5, 7.1.4, 8.0.2, 8.1.1 and 9.0. Impact is limited: CVSS 2.1, and exploitation requires the non-default convolution filter to be applied to attacker-influenced input, so this is a low-severity hardening issue rather than an urgent patch-now event.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
