Until a fix is available, avoid processing untrusted RGB video inputs narrower than 8 or 16 pixels on RVV-enabled RISC-V builds using the Huffyuv encoder in FFmpeg.

Description

FFmpeg versions through 9.0.2 contain a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the ff_llvidenc_diff_bytes_rvv() function. This flaw allows attackers to corrupt heap memory by triggering negative length values in the Huffyuv encoder when processing RGB video narrower than 8 or 16 pixels on RVV-enabled RISC-V builds. The vulnerability can cause writes beyond the encoder's temporary buffer.
