FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an off-by-one heap overflow vulnerability in get_exponent_dynamic() in libavcodec/nellymoserenc.c that allows writing one element past the opt and path allocations. Attackers can supply crafted audio to applications encoding Nellymoser with trellis enabled, causing idx to equal OPT_SIZE and overwrite adjacent heap memory.
