Crash via malformed DASH segmentation metadata
Published Jun 15, 2026 · Updated Jun 15, 2026
NULL pointer dereference in GPAC MP4Box 2.4 allows attackers to crash the process via a crafted MP4 during DASH segmentation. Malformed mvcC or stsz metadata can prevent PID-to-track setup, after which filters/mux_isom.c accesses a member through a NULL TrackWriter pointer. Exploitation requires MP4Box to perform DASH segmentation on the supplied file; the bounded consequence is a process crash without reported data access or modification.
