DescriptionNVD

An out-of-bounds read in the gf_dm_data_received function (downloader.c) of GPAC v26.07.0 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via sending a crafted HTTP request. Fixed in 2fd5a06ab226767900fd86edb5a1e8bfc1010640.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read in GPAC v26.07.0's HTTP download subsystem (gf_dm_data_received in downloader.c) enables remote denial of service when a victim user processes a crafted HTTP response containing a malformed or pathologically large chunk-size value. The upstream fix commit confirms two root causes: absence of an upper-bound cap on parsed chunk sizes and an unchecked integer overflow in the nbBytes + hdr_size computation that causes accounting to wrap around before the out-of-bounds read occurs. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a victim to actively open or cause GPAC to fetch a URL served by an attacker-controlled HTTP server (UI:R per CVSS). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 6.5 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H accurately characterizes the limited blast radius: the attack requires user interaction meaning a victim must actively open or process a crafted HTTP resource through GPAC, and produces availability-only impact with zero data exfiltration or integrity risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the upstream fix from commit 2fd5a06ab226767900fd86edb5a1e8bfc1010640 available at https://github.com/gpac/gpac/commit/2fd5a06ab226767900fd86edb5a1e8bfc1010640. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
