CVE-2023-1654Public exploit

Resource exhaustion via leaked PID properties

Published Mar 27, 2023 · Updated Feb 19, 2025

Uncontrolled resource consumption in GPAC before 2.4.0 allows local users to exhaust memory by DASH-segmenting crafted media input. During PID instance swapping, gf_filter_pid_configure detaches property objects without decrementing their reference count, preventing their release. Triggering requires local MP4Box execution on attacker-controlled input; sustained allocation exhausts memory and interrupts the process.
