Process crash via freed segment-extension pointer
Published Feb 5, 2024 · Updated Jun 5, 2025
Use-after-free in GPAC 2.2.1's dasher_configure_pid function allows attackers to crash the process via unspecified vectors. gf_filter_pid_set_property_full frees p->value.string; dasher_configure_pid then assigns the cleared value to segext and passes it to strcmp. Reachability requires exercising DASH PID configuration; published evidence demonstrates a null-pointer dereference and denial of service, not code execution.
