Process crash via unchecked E-AC-3 stream count
Published Jan 5, 2023 · Updated Apr 10, 2025
Buffer overflow in GPAC MP4Box 2.1-DEV-rev593-g007bf61a0 allows attackers to crash the process via a crafted media file. The eac3_update_channels loop trusts the nb_streams value and indexes a fixed eight-element streams array without enforcing its capacity. Opening or importing the file is required; the supplied sanitizer trace demonstrates a crash, while code execution is reported but not demonstrated.
