Summary
FFmpeg versions up to and including 9.0.2 contain a flaw in the C93 video decoder that lets an attacker read uninitialized stack memory. It can be triggered locally without logging in, but it requires a user to open a crafted, truncated Interplay C93 file.

Read the original description
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an uninitialized memory use vulnerability in the C93 video decoder in libavcodec/c93.c, where decode_frame() never checks how many color table bytes were copied. Attackers can supply a crafted truncated Interplay C93 file so draw_n_color() writes uninitialized stack bytes into decoded frames, disclosing stack memory contents.

Questions about CVE-2026-125095
Is CVE-2026-125095 being exploited?
It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
