Technical details

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the gf_node_del function within scenegraph/base_scenegraph.c of GPAC's MP4Box component. The vulnerability is triggered during MP4 file processing and requires local code execution to exploit. An attacker must be able to supply a malformed MP4 file and execute MP4Box locally to trigger the out-of-bounds read, potentially leading to information disclosure or denial of service. The issue has been patched in version abi-16.23 (commit afca1f1181668d85941d51ed1adf647807d5d975).
