CVE-2026-70628

FFmpeg 0.5 < 9.0 DVB Subtitle Parser Heap Buffer Overflow via WTV File

Published: 8/6/2026 Last updated: 8/14/2026 Reserved: 8/4/2026

FFmpeg versions from 0.5 up to, but not including, 9.0 contain a signed integer overflow vulnerability in the DVB subtitle parser in libavcodec/dvbsub_parser.c that allows attackers to trigger a heap buffer overflow by supplying a crafted WTV file. The overflow causes the bounds-check guard expression to wrap to INT_MIN, bypassing the PARSE_BUF_SIZE comparison and invoking memcpy() with attacker-controlled data into a heap buffer, resulting in an out-of-bounds heap write and potential memory corruption or code execution.
