# avc_decoder buffering_period: buffer overflow lets local code escalate privileges

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-59612 (this .md is for agents)

A buffer overflow in the buffering_period function of avc_decoder can be triggered to write outside its buffer. The description says this can lead to local privilege escalation, with user interaction needed for exploitation.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._
