CVE-2026-64832: FFmpeg 4.4 - 8.1.2 Double-Free in NVDEC Hardware Decoder via nvdec.c

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 34/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.33% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: ffmpeg (Debian:14) 7:9.0.2-1; ffmpeg-4 (openSUSE:Leap 16.0) 4.4.7-bp160.3.1; ffmpeg-7 (openSUSE:Leap 16.0) 7.1.4-160000.3.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to ffmpeg (Debian:14) 7:9.0.2-1; ffmpeg-4 (openSUSE:Leap 16.0) 4.4.7-bp160.3.1; ffmpeg-7 (openSUSE:Leap 16.0) 7.1.4-160000.3.1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

FFmpeg versions 4.4 through 8.1.2 contain a double-free vulnerability in the NVIDIA NVDEC hardware decoder within libavcodec/nvdec.c that allows attackers to trigger memory corruption by supplying a crafted video file. When no decoder surfaces remain, the ff_nvdec_start_frame_sep_ref error path frees memory via nvdec_fdd_priv_free while the calling layer subsequently frees the same frame description data, resulting in a double-free of the underlying decoder context in any FFmpeg-based application using NVDEC hardware-accelerated decoding.
