Application crash via closed-caption length underflow
Published Dec 11, 2024 · Updated Nov 3, 2025
Integer underflow in GStreamer's MP4/MOV demuxer before 1.24.10 allows local users to crash media applications through crafted files. In extract_cc_from_data in qtdemux.c, a c708 atom shorter than eight bytes wraps atom_length - 8 to a large cclen value passed to g_memdup2 for an out-of-bounds read. The file must reach closed-caption parsing; the read can span process memory or terminate the consuming application.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
