Technical details

A heap buffer overflow exists in GPAC MP4Box v2.4 within the gf_isom_vp_config_new function located in isomedia/avc_ext.c. The vulnerability is triggered when the application processes a maliciously crafted MP4 file containing malformed video configuration data. An attacker can exploit this by providing a specially designed file to the MP4Box utility, leading to out-of-bounds memory access. Successful exploitation results in an application crash (Denial of Service). The attack requires the victim to process the malicious file locally.
