Technical details

A segmentation violation exists in the gf_props_equal_internal function within filter_core/filter_props.c when comparing PID property values. The vulnerability is triggered by supplying crafted media data containing malformed descriptors or property structures, leading to a read-access fault. An attacker can exploit this via a specially constructed MP4 file to cause a denial-of-service condition.
