CVE-2024-57184Public exploit

Application crash via undersized PMT parsing

Published Jan 24, 2025 · Updated Jan 24, 2025

Heap-based buffer overflow in GPAC MP4Box 0.8.0 allows local users to crash the application by processing a crafted MP4 file. The gf_m2ts_process_pmt function reads PMT header fields from an undersized MPEG-2 transport-stream section without first ensuring that six bytes remain. Exploitation requires a user to make MP4Box process the crafted file; the demonstrated result is an out-of-bounds read and application crash.
