CVE-2026-39214 is a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in FFmpeg's Service Description Table (SDT) implementation. The flaw was reportedly introduced in 2003 and remained latent for many years. Based on the available information, the issue arises from unsafe handling of attacker-controlled input in SDT parsing logic, resulting in data being written past the bounds of a stack-allocated buffer. As a memory corruption flaw in media parsing code, successful exploitation could occur when FFmpeg processes a crafted media stream or container carrying malicious SDT data.
