CVE-2025-60479: GPAC MP4Box NULL pointer dereference in StatSFVec2f

CVE-2025-60479 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-21

MP4Box is a multimedia file manipulation tool used to process and analyze MPEG-4 video files. A null pointer dereference vulnerability in the scene statistics function allows an attacker to crash the application by providing a specially crafted MPEG-4 file with malformed vector data, causing a denial of service during file analysis.

Technologies: GPAC Project MP4Box. Vendors: GPAC Project.

Technical details

A NULL pointer dereference exists in the StatSFVec2f function in scene_manager/scene_stats.c when processing MPEG-4 BIFS scenes with malformed vector fields. The vulnerability occurs when the statistics collection code fails to validate pointer integrity before accessing SFVec2f structures. An attacker can trigger a segmentation fault by supplying a crafted MPEG-4 file; the fix validates pointers before dereferencing them.
