Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the read_slice_NAL function. An attacker can cause unbounded heap memory consumption by providing a crafted sequence of H.265 NAL units that results in orphaned slice headers being attached to a finished picture object without an active image unit, leading to memory not being freed until the picture is released. This can result in resource exhaustion during continuous streaming.
