Description

FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an uncontrolled memory allocation vulnerability in sbg_read_header() in libavformat/sbgdec.c that derives an unbounded default frame size from the script's sample rate. Attackers can supply a crafted SBaGen script declaring a very high -r sample rate so the wavesynth decoder allocates enormous audio frames, exhausting memory and causing denial of service.
