CVE-2026-125263
FFmpeg 9.0 through 9.0.2 built with liblcevcdec fails to validate LCEVC enhanced output dimensions against maxpixels in libavcodec/decode.c before frame allocation. Attackers can supply crafted H.264, HEVC or VVC streams declaring huge LCEVC resolutions to force oversized getbuffer2() allocations and exhaust memory.
