DescriptionCVE.org

A security vulnerability has been detected in GPAC up to f1219cde. Affected is the function gf_node_list_add_child of the file scenegraph/base_scenegraph.c of the component MP4Box. Such manipulation leads to null pointer dereference. The attack can only be performed from a local environment. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Upgrading to version abi-16.23 is able to address this issue. The name of the patch is 49dee5cad329cfed310c1682703df7daa47df31a. You should upgrade the affected component.

AnalysisAI

Null pointer dereference in GPAC's MP4Box scenegraph engine crashes the application when processing malformed MPEG-4 BIFS scene data. The flaw resides in gf_node_list_add_child within base_scenegraph.c, reachable when node registration encounters a zero instance count or a null node pointer in gf_node_unregister() and gf_node_get_name_and_id(). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires local execution of MP4Box with a specially crafted MP4 file containing malformed MPEG-4 BIFS scenegraph data; the attacker must be able to supply this file to an MP4Box invocation, either directly (interactive session) or through an automated media ingest pipeline. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 4.8 with vector AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N accurately captures the constrained impact: local-only attack surface, low-privilege execution, and a partial availability impact (process crash) with zero confidentiality or integrity consequence. … 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 Upgrade GPAC to release abi-16.23 or apply commit 49dee5cad329cfed310c1682703df7daa47df31a directly; this adds null guards in gf_node_unregister() and gf_node_get_name_and_id() and is confirmed at https://github.com/gpac/gpac/releases/tag/abi-16.23. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
