Description
A vulnerability has been found in GPAC 26.07.0. Affected is the function gf_sg_dom_event_bubble of the file src/scenegraph/dom_events.c of the component MP4Box. The manipulation leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can only be performed from a local environment. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version abi-16.23 is able to address this issue. The identifier of the patch is 9eb40df4448b88d6a6ce3454657c06f47eff0b24. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw is a stack-based buffer overflow in the gf_sg_dom_event_bubble function of the MP4Box component in GPAC version 26.07.0. When this function processes specially crafted input, the buffer is overrun, potentially allowing an attacker to overwrite the stack and execute arbitrary code or crash the process. The vulnerability is classified as local, requiring the attacker to have access to the environment in which MP4Box runs.

Affected Systems

It affects the GPAC project’s MP4Box utility. The issue exists in the 26.07.0 release and has been fixed in the abi-16.23 release. The patch identifier is 9eb40df4448b88d6a6ce3454657c06f47eff0b24.PE the vulnerable version.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.8 indicates a moderate severity. EPSS Score is below 1%, indicating a very low probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Since the exploit is local only, the risk is limited to users who can run MP4Box with untrusted data. The stack overflow could lead to code execution or denial of service if an attacker controls but could be high if local privilege is available. The publicly disclosed exploit means the vulnerability can be used if the local environment is compromised.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update GPAC to version abi-16.23 or newer, which includes the patched gf_sg_dom_event older source build, integrate the patch identified by commit 9eb40df4448b88d6a6ce3454657c06f47eff0b24 before compiling.
  • Until an updated binary or source is deployed, restrict usage of MP4Box to trusted scripts and data, or sandbox the process to mitigate local exploitation risks.
  • If upgrade is not possible, isolate MP4Box execution in a sandboxed container or virtual machine to contain potential exploitation.
