Out-of-bounds read in FFmpeg 8.0 and 8.0.1 RV60 video decoder (libavcodec/rv60dec.c). The quantization parameter (qp) validation at line 2267 only checks the lower bound (qp < 0) but is missing upper bound validation. The qp value can reach 65 (base value 63 from 6-bit frame header + offset +2 from read_qp_offset) while the rv60_qp_to_idx array has size 64 (valid indices 0-63). This results in out-of-bounds array access at lines 1554 (decode_cbp8), 1655 (decode_cbp16), and 1419/1421 (get_c4x4_set), potentially leading to memory disclosure or crash. A previous fix in commit 61cbcaf93f added validation only for intra frames. This vulnerability affects the released versions 8.0 (released 2025-08-22) and 8.0.1 (released 2025-11-20) and is fixed in git master commit 8abeb879df which will be included in FFmpeg 8.1.
This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.4, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network with relatively low complexity though user interaction is required and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts limited data confidentiality, and limited availability for affected systems. Impacting 1 product from ffmpeg organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2026, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For ffmpeg's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
