📋 Description
FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an uncontrolled recursion vulnerability in score_header() in libavcodec/flac_parser.c that allows attackers to exhaust the thread stack via crafted FLAC input. Attackers can supply a FLAC stream packed with many small valid-looking frame headers, forcing deep recursion that crashes the process during demuxing or parsing.
