Media-processing crash via dangling PID instance pointer
Published Jun 25, 2026 · Updated Jun 25, 2026
Use-after-free in GPAC MP4Box before 26.02.0 allows attackers to crash media processing via a crafted MPEG-2 TS file. During PID reconfiguration, gf_filter_pid_inst_swap frees ctx->pid_inst without clearing it, and later code dereferences the dangling pointer. Processing the malicious file is required; the demonstrated result is a heap-use-after-free that terminates the process.
