Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the target to parse an attacker-supplied MP4/QuickTime file whose audio track atoms are crafted so that unvalidated atom fields produce a zero denominator in the isomp4 plugin's qtdemux_audio_caps function; any application built on gst-plugins-good before 1.28.2 that demuxes untrusted media (players, thumbnailers, transcoders, streaming pipelines) is affected. Limiting factors: impact is confined to a crash of the GStreamer process (no code execution, no data disclosure per the description), and the host application must actually feed untrusted media through the isomp4/qtdemux path - environments that never process attacker-controlled MP4 input are not exposed.

Impact

Signals conflict sharply and must be reconciled before prioritizing. The supplied CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H = 9.1) rates confidentiality impact as High, but the description characterizes the flaw purely as a denial of service from an integer division by zero in qtdemux_audio_caps - there is no stated information disclosure, so the C:H metric appears inflated and the true impact is availability-only (independently assessed 7.5). EPSS is 0.01% (2nd percentile) and the CISA SSVC framing is Exploitation: none, Automatable: no, Technical Impact: partial, all pointing to low real-world exploitation pressure, yet the vuln.today priority is labelled act_now; this tension suggests the act_now label is driven by the inflated CVSS and the broad deployment of GStreamer rather than by observed exploitation. Net assessment: a genuine, patch-worthy availability bug in widely deployed media-parsing code, but a crash-only DoS - not a confidentiality breach and not an actively exploited emergency. No public exploit was identified in the provided data (the GitLab .patch reference is the fix, not exploit code). Priority is real for environments that parse untrusted media, but the raw 9.1 overstates the technical impact.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker supplies a malformed MP4 file whose audio track atoms contain values that drive a denominator to zero inside qtdemux_audio_caps; when a GStreamer-based application (media player, transcoder, or automated media pipeline) demuxes the file via the isomp4 plugin, the division-by-zero crashes the process, denying service. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and because the vector is network-reachable with low complexity, any workflow that ingests attacker-controlled media is exposed.

AnalysisAIv2 – Oct 26, 2026

Denial of service in GStreamer gst-plugins-good before 1.28.2 lets remote attackers crash media-processing pipelines that demux untrusted MP4/QuickTime content, because qtdemux_audio_caps in the isomp4 plugin performs a division on atom data it has not adequately validated, triggering an integer divide-by-zero. The supplied assessment confines impact to availability (C:N/I:N/A:H) and says affected deployments are players, thumbnailers, transcoders and streaming pipelines that actually process attacker-supplied media; environments that never feed untrusted MP4 input into the isomp4/qtdemux path are not exposed. No active exploitation or public exploit code is identified in the supplied data (EPSS 0.01%, SSVC exploitation:none), yet the vuln.today decision label is act_now, so the conflicting signals should be reconciled before prioritization.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 May 14, 2026 - 18:31 CVSS 4.0

Integer division by zero in GStreamer gst-plugins-good before version 1.28.2 allows local attackers to cause denial of service by supplying a maliciously crafted MP4 file with invalid atom data in audio tracks, triggering a crash in the qtdemux_audio_caps parser function without requiring user interaction or elevated privileges.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade gst-plugins-good to 1.28.2 or later, which contains the fix for CVE-2026-46470; the upstream change is in merge request 11243 and the vendor advisory is https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/security/sa-2026-0018.html. The supplied references do not specify a workaround, so affected deployments should apply the 1.28.2 update rather than rely on configuration changes. Because the vuln.today decision label is act_now while EPSS is 0.01% and SSVC exploitation is none, prioritize upgrade for internet-facing or automated media-processing services that ingest untrusted MP4/QuickTime files.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CVE-2026-46470 is a CWE-369 integer divide-by-zero in the isomp4 plugin of GStreamer's gst-plugins-good, specifically in qtdemux_audio_caps while parsing MP4 audio tracks. The function reads atom fields and performs division without sufficiently validating those fields, so a crafted file can supply a zero denominator and abort the GStreamer process. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:freedesktop:gst-plugins-good:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and EUVD's 'Good Plug-ins 0 <1.28.2' identify all gst-plugins-good releases before 1.28.2 as affected; the flaw is in the demuxer path used by applications that parse QuickTime/MP4 containers. The description and independent assessment indicate availability-only impact (crash), and the authoritative assessed vector is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, even though the supplied 9.1 vector lists C:H; no code execution or data disclosure is established by the evidence, and the exact atom-field validation gap beyond the zero-denominator condition is not further described in the available sources.

DescriptionNVD

An issue was discovered in GStreamer gst-plugins-good before 1.28.2. When parsing MP4 audio tracks, the isomp4 plugin's qtdemux_audio_caps function does not sufficiently validate atom data before performing division operations, leading to denial of service due to integer division by zero.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical denial-of-service vulnerability in GStreamer's gst-plugins-good (versions before 1.28.2) allows remote attackers to crash media-processing pipelines by supplying malicious MP4/QuickTime files. This affects any service that processes untrusted media, such as video players, thumbnail generators, transcoders, and streaming platforms, potentially causing service outages and operational disruption. Leadership should prioritize patching because exploitation could lead to availability loss in customer-facing or internal media workflows.
