{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-49295","details":"libde265 is an open source implementation of the h.265 video codec. Prior to version 1.0.20, a crafted H.265 bitstream can cause an out-of-bounds array write in `decoder_context::process_reference_picture_set()` (`libde265/decctx.cc:1376`). The root cause is a missing aggregate bound check on predicted short-term reference picture set entries. Individual list sizes are validated, but the combined count after predicted RPS construction can exceed the 16-entry `PocStFoll` array, writing at index 16. Version 1.0.20 patches the issue.","modified":"2026-07-21T13:12:57.190630280Z","published":"2026-06-19T21:17:00Z","related":["USN-8573-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2026-49295"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-49295"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-49295"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/strukturag/libde265/security/advisories/GHSA-g2rg-wj66-w594"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-8573-1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"libde265","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/libde265?arch=source&distro=esm-apps-legacy%2Fxenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.0.2-2ubuntu0.16.04.1~esm6"}]}],"versions":["1.0.2-1build1","1.0.2-2","1.0.2-2ubuntu0.16.04.1~esm1","1.0.2-2ubuntu0.16.04.1~esm2","1.0.2-2ubuntu0.16.04.1~esm3","1.0.2-2ubuntu0.16.04.1~esm4","1.0.2-2ubuntu0.16.04.1~esm5"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.0.2-2ubuntu0.16.04.1~esm6","binary_name":"libde265-0"},{"binary_name":"libde265-examples","binary_version":"1.0.2-2ubuntu0.16.04.1~esm6"}],"availability":"Available
