FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in vp8_lossy_decode_alpha() in libavcodec/webp.c that leaves alpha plane memory uninitialized for short uncompressed ALPH chunks. Attackers can supply a crafted WebP image whose ALPH chunk is shorter than width * height to disclose stale pixel data from previously decoded frames.
