    Debian Bug     : 1140428

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in aom, the reference
    implementation of the AV1 video codec. All of them affect the encoder;
    applications that only decode AV1 video are not affected.

    CVE-2026-56208

        In look-ahead processing (LAP) mode the first-pass statistics buffer
        was sized from the configured lag-in-frames alone, leaving it shorter
        than the longest group of pictures the encoder may analyse. Together
        with an off-by-one in the number of frames considered, this allowed
        the encoder to read and write outside the allocation, resulting in
        denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

    CVE-2026-56209, CVE-2026-56210, CVE-2026-56211

        The AOME_SET_SPATIAL_LAYER_ID and AV1E_SET_SVC_LAYER_ID codec
        controls did not validate the supplied scalable video coding (SVC)
        layer identifiers against the number of layers actually configured.
        A negative or too large identifier led to an out-of-bounds read of
        the layer context array, an out-of-bounds write through the cyclic
        refresh map pointer, and potentially the execution of arbitrary
        code. Exploitation requires an application that allows an attacker
        to influence the encoder's SVC configuration.

    Additionally this update validates the configured number of spatial and
    temporal layers, which the affected version accepted without any range
    check.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 3.12.1-1+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your aom packages.
