Process crash via unchecked NULL UUID pointer
Published Jun 9, 2026 · Updated Jun 9, 2026
NULL pointer dereference in GPAC MP4Box 2.4 allows attackers to crash the process by importing a truncated or malformed MP4 file. The isomedia channel-setup path passes a NULL UUID pointer to gf_isom_get_user_data_count, which compares it with stored user-data UUIDs without first checking it. Exploitation requires the crafted file to be processed; no authentication or special privileges are required, and the demonstrated consequence is a repeatable process crash.
