Summary
An integer overflow in the target_sws_fuzzer() function (libswscale/output.c) of FFmpeg N-122528-gdd2976b9e1 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted input. A flaw was found in FFmpeg.
This can lead to the application becoming unresponsive or crashing, impacting its availability. The ffmpeg package is not shipped in base Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
It is available through EPEL, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI, and as a bundled dependency in Red Hat OpenShift AI container images. The vulnerable code resides in the bilinear interpolation routines of libswscale/output.c, which is core production code used by virtually all FFmpeg scaling operations.
Despite the original CVE description referencing a function named 'target_sws_fuzzer', this is not a fuzzer-only issue — the integer overflows occur in production scaling code paths. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
Weakness: CWE-190. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI) 3; Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI).
Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
