CVE-2026-64830
Public on
Last Modified:
Description
A flaw was found in FFmpeg, a widely used multimedia framework. This vulnerability, a heap buffer overflow in the VobSub subtitle demuxer, allows a remote attacker to corrupt memory. By providing a specially crafted subtitle file, an attacker can trigger unbounded writes, which could lead to arbitrary code execution in applications that use FFmpeg's VobSub demuxer. This could allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.
Statement
A heap buffer overflow in FFmpeg's VobSub subtitle demuxer can lead to arbitrary code execution when processing a specially crafted subtitle file. Exploitation requires user interaction, such as opening a malicious media file, which reduces the attack surface but can result in high impact if an affected application processes untrusted content.
Mitigation
To mitigate this issue, avoid processing VobSub subtitle files from untrusted or unknown sources. For applications that utilize FFmpeg's VobSub demuxer, consider running them within a sandboxed environment to restrict the potential impact of a successful exploit.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authorities (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications ).

My product is listed as "Under investigation" or "Affected", when will Red Hat release a fix for this vulnerability?
- "Under investigation" doesn't necessarily mean that the product is affected by this vulnerability. It only means that our Analysis Team is still working on determining whether the product is affected and how it is affected.
- "Affected" means that our Analysis Team has determined that this product is affected by this vulnerability and might release a fix to address this in the near future.
What can I do if my product is listed as "Will not fix"?
Available options depend mostly on the Impact of the vulnerability and the current Life Cycle phase of your product. Overall, you have the following options:
- Upgrade to a supported product version that includes a fix for this vulnerability (recommended).
- Apply a mitigation (if one exists).
- Open a This content is not included.support case to request a prioritization of releasing a fix for this vulnerability.
What can I do if my product is listed as "Fix deferred"?
Available options depend mostly on the Impact of the vulnerability and the current Life Cycle phase of your product. Overall, you have the following options:
- Apply a mitigation (if one exists).
- Open a This content is not included.support case to request a prioritization of releasing a fix for this vulnerability.
- Red Hat Engineering focuses on addressing high-priority issues based on their complexity or limited lifecycle support. Therefore, lower-priority issues will not receive immediate fixes.
What is a mitigation?
I have a Red Hat product but it is not in the above list, is it affected?
Why is my security scanner reporting my product as vulnerable to this vulnerability even though my product version is fixed or not affected?
My product is listed as "Out of Support Scope". What does this mean?
