DescriptionCVE.org

A security vulnerability has been detected in GPAC up to 2.4.0. Affected by this issue is the function Media_GetSample of the file src/isomedia/media.c of the component MP4Box. Such manipulation of the argument cat leads to memory leak. The attack can only be performed from a local environment. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The name of the patch is e79c5cbe8b3fed27f4854ec229457d30c96206f1. It is best practice to apply a patch to resolve this issue.

AnalysisAI

Memory leak in GPAC MP4Box up to version 2.4.0 allows a local, low-privileged attacker to exhaust process memory by supplying a crafted MP4 file that triggers the vulnerable Media_GetSample function in src/isomedia/media.c. The root cause is a missing zero-size guard before memory allocation when the cat argument is manipulated to produce a zero-sum of data_size and padding_bytes. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Local execution environment is required - the CVSS vector specifies AV:L, meaning this vulnerability is not remotely exploitable under any configuration. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment All available signals converge on very low real-world risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A local attacker with standard user-level privileges crafts a malicious MP4 file in which the `cat` argument manipulation causes `data_size + padding_bytes` to resolve to zero during sample retrieval by `Media_GetSample`. When a victim or automated pipeline processes this file with MP4Box, the degenerate allocation path is triggered repeatedly, leaking memory until the process degrades or terminates. …
Remediation The upstream fix is available as commit e79c5cbe8b3fed27f4854ec229457d30c96206f1 on the GPAC GitHub repository (https://github.com/gpac/gpac/commit/e79c5cbe8b3fed27f4854ec229457d30c96206f1). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
