CVE-2025-52290
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-wv9f-x489-g252 ↗EUVD-2025-211132 ↗
description
FFmpeg build N-119856-gbe46370941 is affected by a null pointer dereference during H.264 media handling. An attacker may disrupt service by supplying media that triggers the fault when the affected build processes it.
mitigation
Replace the affected FFmpeg build with a vendor-supported build that includes the correction when one is identified. Until then, restrict processing of untrusted media and isolate FFmpeg-backed media processing services.
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
source signals
Public signals that triggered or updated the pipeline. These are inputs for the deltas above.
