Description
FFmpeg 7.0 before 8.1.3 and 9.x before 9.0.2 Heap Overflow via vulkan_av1.c
FFmpeg 7.0 before 8.1.3 and 9.x before 9.0.2 contains a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in vk_av1_decode_slice() in libavcodec/vulkan_av1.c because the tile-count limit is checked only on entry. Attackers can supply a crafted AV1 stream with more than 256 tiles decoded via the Vulkan hardware accelerator to overflow tile_sizes and corrupt heap memory.
