Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 23 Feb 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Ubuntu users should apply the available updates to the ffmpeg package as provided in the Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7738-1. For supported releases, a standard system update will apply the fix. For older LTS releases, the fix is available through Ubuntu Pro Extended Security Maintenance (ESM). Users should follow vendor guidance to ensure their systems are updated. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

A vulnerability in FFmpeg up to version 7.1 was discovered involving incorrect handling of LPC order calculation, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow. This flaw can cause FFmpeg to crash when processing specially crafted input, resulting in a denial of service. There is also a potential for code execution, although this is not explicitly confirmed. Ubuntu has released patches for various supported releases, with fixes available through standard updates or Ubuntu Pro Extended Security Maintenance (ESM). No known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.

Impact

Successful exploitation can cause FFmpeg to crash, resulting in denial of service. There is a potential risk of code execution due to the stack-based buffer overflow, but this has not been explicitly confirmed or demonstrated. No known active exploits have been reported.

Summary

The FFmpeg multimedia framework contains a vulnerability (CVE-2025-1594) due to improper calculation of LPC order, which can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow. This vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a denial of service by crashing FFmpeg when it processes maliciously crafted input files. The issue affects FFmpeg versions up to 7.1. Ubuntu has issued security advisories and patches for multiple releases, including 25.04, 24.04 LTS, 22.04 LTS, 20.04 LTS, 18.04 LTS, and 16.04 LTS. The patches are available via standard system updates or through Ubuntu Pro ESM for older LTS versions. No confirmed exploitation in the wild has been reported.
