Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—
Unspecified vulnerability in the read_var_block_data function in libavcodec/alsdec.c in FFmpeg before 0.11, and Libav 0.7.x before 0.7.7 and 0.8.x before 0.8.4, has unknown impact and attack vectors, related to the "number of decoded samples in first sub-block in BGMC mode."
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
- Base score: 10
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.20%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 88
- Score date: 10/8/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
