FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains a reference count leak in libavcodec/v4l2_buffers.c that allows attackers to deadlock the V4L2 mem2mem decoder on multi-plane capture formats. Attackers can supply crafted H.264, HEVC, or VP9 streams with resolution changes, making ff_v4l2_m2m_codec_reinit() wait forever and hang the decoding application.
