Until a fix is applied, avoid processing untrusted JPEG-LS images with affected FFmpeg versions.
Description
FFmpeg versions through 9.0.2 have an uninitialized memory disclosure vulnerability in the ff_jpegls_decode_picture() function within libavcodec/jpeglsdec.c. This flaw occurs when decoding 16-bit line-interleaved JPEG-LS scans as 8-bit samples, allowing crafted single-component JPEG-LS images with the ILV byte set to 1 to cause decoded GRAY16 frames to expose leftover heap memory. The vulnerability has a low severity rating with a CVSS score of 3.3.
