DescriptionCVE.org

A stack buffer overflow in the filein_process function (in_file.c) of GPAC MP4Box v2.4 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted MP4 file.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in GPAC MP4Box v2.4 allows remote attackers to crash the application by supplying a crafted MP4 file that triggers a stack buffer overflow in the filein_process function. The flaw resides in in_file.c and impacts availability only, with no confirmed code-execution path; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though POC details may surface via the linked infosec.exchange post.

Technical ContextAI

GPAC is an open-source multimedia framework, and MP4Box is its command-line tool for packaging, inspecting, and converting ISO base media files (MP4, 3GP, etc.). The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow) within the filein_process routine of the file-input module (in_file.c), which handles reading and dispatching file data into GPAC's processing pipeline. A maliciously crafted MP4 container can cause the routine to write past a fixed-size stack buffer, corrupting the stack frame and crashing the process. Because GPAC/MP4Box is widely embedded in transcoding pipelines, media servers, and forensic toolchains, the parsing surface is broad.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis from the supplied data; defenders should monitor the GPAC GitHub repository (github.com/gpac/gpac) for a fix to in_file.c filein_process and upgrade to the first tagged release that incorporates it. As compensating controls, restrict MP4Box to processing only trusted/authenticated content, run it inside a sandboxed or containerized worker with automatic restart so a crash does not take down the surrounding pipeline, and apply resource limits (ulimit, cgroups) to contain abnormal behavior - the trade-off is added orchestration complexity and minor latency overhead on each invocation. Pre-filtering inbound MP4 files with a lighter-weight validator (e.g., a known-good header/box-structure check) can reject obviously malformed inputs before they reach MP4Box, at the cost of false positives on edge-case but legitimate files.
