CVE-2026-125101
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in the VMnc decoder in libavcodec/vmnc.c that restores an unwritten cursor save area into later frames. Attackers can supply a crafted VMnc stream where a frame fails after loading a cursor shape, causing uninitialized heap bytes from screendta to appear in decoded output.
