Crash via unchecked PID chain dereference
Published Jun 24, 2026 · Updated Jun 24, 2026
NULL pointer dereference in GPAC MP4Box before 26.02.0 allows local users to crash media processing via a crafted MPEG-2 TS file. gf_filter_in_parent_chain walks parent-filter inputs and dereferences pidi->pid->filter without first checking whether pidi->pid is NULL. Local users must cause MP4Box to inspect the malicious file; exploitation terminates that processing instance without reported data disclosure or modification.
