Impact

A memory buffer overrun in the dump_isom_saps function of GPAC MP4Box can be triggered by feeding a specially crafted MP4 file. The overflow leads to a segmentation fault that crashes the MP4Box process, resulting in denial of service for any media processing pipeline that relies on the tool. The weakness is classified as CWE-119: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Buffer. No evidence indicates that the flaw could lead to information disclosure or arbitrary code execution.

Affected Systems

GPAC MP4Box, specifically the development build revision 1672 (v2.5-DEV-rev1672-gc9a31d0e1-master). No other vendors or product versions are known to be affected. The vulnerability resides in the filedump.c module that parses ISOM/SAPS boxes.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score is 5.5, indicating moderate severity. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires a malicious MP4 file that is processed by MP4Box, so an attacker must have access to the environment where the tool runs or influence a trusted user to supply a crafted file. Given the lack of public exploitation reports and the non-interactive nature of the attack, the likelihood of real-world incidents appears limited, yet the impact remains a service interruption for affected media workflows.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Verify the availability of an updated GPAC MP4Box release that addresses the memory buffer overflow in dump_isom_saps and apply it if possible.
  • Restrict the use of MP4Box to trusted‑source media and avoid processing untrusted MP4 files from external or unauthenticated users.
  • Implement automated monitoring of the MP4Box process and configure automatic restarts or fail‑over mechanisms to minimize downtime.
