Technical details

A heap-based buffer overflow exists in the gf_url_concatenate_ex function in utils/url.c of the URL Handler component in GPAC up to commit f1219cde. The vulnerability stems from improper bounds checking when concatenating URL strings. The attack vector is local; an attacker must provide a malicious input locally (not remotely exploitable). Successful exploitation could lead to denial of service via crash or potentially arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability has been patched in version abi-16.23 with commit afca1f1181668d85941d51ed1adf647807d5d975.
