Application crash via null dereference during atom removal
Published Feb 19, 2025 · Updated Feb 20, 2025
Denial of service in Axiomatic Systems Bento4 1.6.0-641 allows local users to crash mp4encrypt with a crafted MP4 file. A crafted file causes AP4_AtomParent::RemoveChild to dereference address zero during atom removal. Execution requires a user or local workflow to pass the file to mp4encrypt; the demonstrated consequence is an application abort, not code execution.
