Summary
FFmpeg versions up to and including 9.0.2 have a NULL pointer dereference in the G.726 ADPCM audio decoder that a local attacker can trigger by getting a user to open a crafted AVI file. Successful exploitation crashes the process, causing a denial of service.

Read the original description
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in g726_decode_frame() in libavcodec/g726.c because it ignores init_get_bits() failure on oversized packets. Attackers can supply a crafted AVI file with a 268435392-byte G.726 audio chunk to make the decoder read from a NULL buffer, crashing the process.
