Application crash via unchecked PSSH payload size
Published Jun 15, 2026 · Updated Jun 15, 2026
Heap buffer overflow in GPAC MP4Box 2.4 allows attackers to crash the application by processing a crafted MP4 file. During DASH/CENC processing, gf_cenc_set_pssh trusts the declared PSSH payload size and passes it to memcpy against a 512-byte heap buffer, causing an oversized read. No authentication or special privileges are required, but the file must undergo DASH segmentation; the demonstrated consequence is a process crash, with adjacent heap disclosure also reported.
