CVE-2026-95121: mp4v2 integer underflow in RTP atom parsing

CVE-2026-95121 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.8 · Published 2026-10-13

mp4v2 is a library for reading and writing MP4 video files. A flaw in how it parses specially crafted MP4 files can cause it to attempt allocating an enormous amount of memory (near 2 trillion bytes), leading to a denial-of-service crash when processing a malicious file. An attacker can trigger this by sending a crafted MP4 file to an application using mp4v2.

Technologies: TechSmith Mp4v2. Vendors: TechSmith.

Technical details

An integer underflow in MP4RtpAtom::ReadHntiType() occurs when parsing an undersized rtp atom within an hnti container. The vulnerable code computes size as GetEnd() - m_File.GetPosition() without bounds checking; if the atom is too small, this subtraction underflows to a near-2^64 value, which is passed directly to MP4Malloc(). This triggers an excessive memory allocation attempt (CWE-191, CWE-789), causing denial of service.
