FFmpeg 7.1 through 9.0.2 contains an integer overflow in the ff_vk_decode_add_slice() function in libavcodec/vulkan_decode.c. This flaw causes a miscalculation of the Vulkan hwaccel bitstream buffer size. Attackers can supply a crafted stream with over 2 GiB of slice data per frame, causing memcpy() to write past a smaller pooled host-mapped buffer.
