Technical details

A segmentation violation (likely a NULL pointer dereference) exists in the Track_SetStreamDescriptor function within isomedia/track.c of GPAC MP4Box v2.4. The vulnerability is triggered when the application attempts to process a specially crafted MP4 file. An attacker can exploit this by providing a malicious file to the utility, leading to an application crash and a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. This is a local attack vector requiring the victim to open or process the file using the vulnerable MP4Box binary.
