CVE-2026-64831

FFmpeg versions 8.0 through 8.1.2 contains a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the Vulkan HEVC hardware decoder that allows remote attackers to overwrite return addresses and adjacent stack frames by supplying a crafted HEVC/H.265 bitstream. Attackers can embed a malicious vps_num_hrd_parameters value exceeding HEVC_MAX_SUB_LAYERS in any supported container format to overflow stack-allocated arrays in the vk_hevc_end_frame function, potentially achieving arbitrary code execution.

Summary		(es) Las versiones de FFmpeg 8.0 a 8.1.2 contienen una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer de pila en el decodificador de hardware Vulkan HEVC que permite a atacantes remotos sobrescribir direcciones de retorno y marcos de pila adyacentes al proporcionar un flujo de bits HEVC/H.265 manipulado. Los atacantes pueden incrustar un valor malicioso de vps_num_hrd_parameters que excede HEVC_MAX_SUB_LAYERS en cualquier formato de contenedor compatible para desbordar arreglos asignados en la pila en la función vk_hevc_end_frame, logrando potencialmente la ejecución de código arbitrario.
