Technical details

A heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Opus audio stream parser of GPAC MP4Box version 2.4. The flaw is triggered when the application processes a maliciously crafted MP4 file containing Opus audio data. An attacker can exploit this by inducing a user or automated system to open the file, leading to memory corruption and a subsequent application crash (Denial of Service). The vulnerability is local in nature as it requires the processing of a specific file. No official patch details were provided in the initial advisory, though users are advised to exercise caution with untrusted media files.
