Description
A vulnerability was found in GPAC up to f1219cde. This affects the function gf_svg_attributes_copy of the file scenegraph/svg_attributes.c of the component MP4Box. Performing a manipulation results in buffer over-read. The attack is only possible with local access. The exploit has been made public and could be used. Upgrading to version abi-16.23 mitigates this issue. The patch is named afca1f1181668d85941d51ed1adf647807d5d975. Upgrading the affected component is recommended.

AI Analysis

Impact

A local buffer over-read flaw exists in the MP4Box component of GPAC, triggered during the gf_svg_attributes_copy function when processing a crafted SVG attribute. The vulnerability allows an attacker with local access to read beyond the intended buffer boundaries, potentially disclosing sensitive data stored in adjacent memory. The flaw is classified as a buffer over-read (CWE-119) and a read past the allocated limit (CWE-126).

Affected Systems

The issue affects GPAC versions up to the Git commit identified as f1219cde. Users running the MP4Box tool in these versions are at risk. The problem is fully resolved in the GPAC release tagged abi-16.23. The patch corresponding to the commit afca1f1181668d85941d51ed1adf647807d5d975 implements the necessary fix.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.8 places this vulnerability in the moderate range. Exploit probability is not quantified by EPSS, and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector requires local access, meaning it can be leveraged only by users who can run MP4Box or manipulate its input on the affected system. Publicly available exploits are documented, increasing the likelihood that a local attacker could successfully exploit the flaw if the system is not patched.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the GPAC installation to version abi-16.23 or newer, which incorporates the regression that fixes the buffer over-read in gf_svg_attributes_copy.
  • If a direct upgrade is not immediately feasible, apply the specific patch commit afca1f1181668d85941d51ed1adf647807d5d975 to the source code and rebuild MP4Box to incorporate the fix.
  • Restrict local execution of MP4Box by confining it to a dedicated, least-privileged user account or by running it within a container, thereby limiting an attacker’s ability to deliver crafted SVG input and trigger the over-read.
