Technical details

An Out-of-Memory (OOM) vulnerability exists in the mp4_mux_cenc_insert_pssh function within filters/mux_isom.c of GPAC MP4Box v2.4. The flaw is triggered when the application processes a maliciously crafted MP4 file containing specific Common Encryption (CENC) metadata. An attacker can exploit this by providing a file that causes excessive memory allocation, leading to a crash or system instability (Denial of Service). This is a local attack vector requiring the victim to process the malicious file using the MP4Box utility.
