Description
FFmpeg versions through 9.0.2 have an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the SGI encoder's encode_frame() function. This flaw arises from improper handling of negative linesize frames, allowing crafted video input to cause the process to read memory outside the intended frame buffer and crash. The vulnerability is triggered when a video with a display matrix that causes autorotate vertical flip is transcoded to SGI images.
