Application crash via unchecked subtitle payload length
Published Jun 1, 2026 · Updated Jun 1, 2026
Heap buffer overflow in GPAC MP4Box 2.4 allows attackers to crash the application by processing a crafted MPEG-2 TS file. The m2tsdmx_send_packet function subtracts two bytes from an unchecked DVB subtitle payload length, causing unsigned wraparound and a memcpy of 4,294,967,295 bytes beyond a 183-byte heap allocation. Exploitation requires user interaction to make MP4Box process the malicious file, and published evidence demonstrates a crash rather than code execution.
