CVE-2026-124310: Fraunhofer HHI VVdeC out-of-bounds read in inter prediction

CVE-2026-124310 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.1 · Published 2026-11-07

VVdeC is a video decoder library used to decompress video streams. An attacker can craft a malicious video file with specially overlapping slice segments that causes the decoder to read from invalid memory locations and crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Technologies: Fraunhofer HHI VVdeC. Vendors: Fraunhofer HHI.

Technical details

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the inter prediction module when processing bi-predicted BDOF coding units with negative reference indices. Attackers can construct bitstreams with overlapping slice CTU coverage across multiple slices that trigger Slice::getRefPic to access m_apcRefPicList outside bounds. The vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction beyond supplying a crafted video bitstream.
