FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an unbounded memory allocation vulnerability in the av1_frame_merge bitstream filter that allows attackers to exhaust memory by never sending a temporal delimiter OBU. Attackers can supply a crafted .obu file opened by the AV1 OBU or Annex B demuxers, forcing unlimited OBU buffering per temporal unit and causing denial of service.
