A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was found in libaom, the reference AV1 codec implementation. A flaw in the AV1 encoder's Look-Ahead Processing (LAP) mode causes the first-pass stats ring buffer wrap-around guard to be bypassed when g_lag_in_frames is set to 1 or higher. This results in a 232-byte out-of-bounds write on every encoded frame after the second, corrupting adjacent heap objects. An attacker who can influence encoder configuration in a transcoding service or WebRTC session could exploit this to cause a denial of service (process crash) or potentially achieve code execution.

Affected: Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS: aom, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: aom, Ubuntu:26.04:LTS: aom

It was discovered that AOM incorrectly handled the first-pass statistics buffer in Look-Ahead Processing (LAP) mode. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a heap buffer overflow, leading to a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-56208)

It was discovered that AOM incorrectly validated spatial and temporal layer IDs in the SVC (Scalable Video Coding) encoder controls. An attacker could possibly use this issue to write to an arbitrary memory address, read out-of-bounds heap memory, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-56209, CVE-2026-56210, CVE-2026-56211)
