Description
A vulnerability was identified in GPAC up to b40ce70f5. This issue affects the function sgpd_del_entry of the file src/isomedia/box_code_base.c of the component MP4Box. Such manipulation of the argument data leads to heap-based buffer overflow. Local access is required to approach this attack. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The name of the patch is f29f955f2a3b5e8e507caad3e52319f961bf37bf. It is advisable to implement a patch to correct this issue.

AI Analysis

Impact

A heap-based buffer overflow is triggered when the sgpd_del_entry function in the MP4Box component processes specially crafted input. The flaw allows an attacker with local access to overwrite adjacent heap memory, which can corrupt program state, crash the application, or potentially lead to integrity compromise. The vulnerability is a classic instance of out-of-bounds write (CWE-119, CWE-122).

Affected Systems

All releases of GPAC prior to the commit f29f955f2a3b5e8e507caad3e52319f961bf37bf, including version identifiers up to b40ce70f5, are affected. Any distribution or derivative containing the vulnerable MP4Box module remains at risk until the fix is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.8 indicates medium severity; EPSS <1% shows a very low probability of exploitation at this time. Nonetheless, a publicly available proof of concept exists, and the vulnerability only requires local access, making it easier for attackers who already have foothold to exploit. The issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but the existence of the PoC reduces the attacker’s effort for future use.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the GPAC patch corresponding to commit f29f955f2a3b5e8e507caad3e52319f961bf37bf or upgrade to a GPAC version that includes this fix.
  • If an immediate update cannot be performed, restrict local users from executing MP4Box or remove it from the system path.
  • Place any processes that invoke MP4Box into a sandboxed environment or an isolated container to contain potential memory corruption.
  • Verify that no unpatched GPAC binaries remain on systems and remove or replace them.
