DescriptionCVE.org

An improper resource deallocation and closure vulnerability in the tools/zmqsend.c component of FFmpeg v8.0.1 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted input file.

AnalysisAI

Resource deallocation flaw in FFmpeg 8.0.1's zmqsend.c utility enables remote denial of service through crafted input files. Attackers can trigger improper cleanup of allocated resources without authentication (CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), exhausting system resources. EPSS score of 0.04% (11th percentile) indicates low real-world exploitation probability, and no active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV). The vulnerability affects a non-core utility component used for ZeroMQ message sending, limiting practical attack surface compared to main FFmpeg libraries.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in tools/zmqsend.c, a command-line utility within FFmpeg for sending messages via ZeroMQ (a high-performance asynchronous messaging library). The root cause is CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption), manifesting as improper resource deallocation and closure. When processing specially crafted input files, the zmqsend utility fails to properly release allocated memory, file handles, or network resources, leading to resource exhaustion. This is distinct from FFmpeg's core video/audio processing libraries (libavcodec, libavformat) and affects a standalone tool primarily used in testing or integration scenarios. The CPE data lists 'n/a' for vendor/product, reflecting ambiguity in vulnerability database indexing, but the affected component is definitively FFmpeg's zmqsend utility as confirmed by source code references.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. The references point to existing source code (github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/tools/zmqsend.c and doxygen documentation) rather than fix commits or security advisories. Organizations should monitor FFmpeg's official security mailing list and GitHub repository for forthcoming patches addressing CVE-2026-30998. Immediate mitigations include: (1) disable or remove zmqsend utility from production environments if not operationally required, (2) implement strict input validation and sanitization if zmqsend must process external files, (3) apply resource limits (ulimit, cgroups) to constrain memory/file descriptor consumption when invoking zmqsend, (4) isolate zmqsend execution in sandboxed environments with restricted privileges.
