CVE-2026-90578 Details
Description
A flaw has been found in GPAC up to f1219cde. Affected by this issue is the function gf_list_count of the file utils/list.c of the component MP4Box. Executing a manipulation can lead to use after free. The attack is restricted to local execution. The exploit has been published and may be used. Upgrading to version abi-16.23 can resolve this issue. This patch is called 49dee5cad329cfed310c1682703df7daa47df31a. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component.
A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in GPAC versions prior to the commit f1219cde. The issue arises in the MP4Box application, specifically within the list management functions. When a crafted MP4 file is processed with the '-nstatx' option, the application can crash due to improper handling of scene graph node lists. This flaw creates a potential for exploitation, as the memory access error could be leveraged for arbitrary code execution.
Users are advised to upgrade to GPAC version abi-16.23 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
