Description
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an integer overflow vulnerability in ff_prores_kostya_encode_init() that miscalculates frame_size_upper_bound using 32-bit arithmetic for large frame dimensions. Attackers can supply a high-resolution video transcoded with the prores_ks encoder, causing encode_frame() to write slices past an undersized packet buffer and corrupt heap memory.
