CVE-2026-5673 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (libtheora), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): open 5.
A flaw was found in libtheora. This heap-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists within the AVI (Audio Video Interleave) parser, specifically in the avi_parse_input_file() function. A local attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted AVI file containing a truncated header sub-chunk. This could lead to a denial-of-service (application crash) or potentially leak sensitive information from the heap.
