A security vulnerability has been detected in GPAC up to 26.02.0. This affects the function sidxboxread of the file src/isomedia/boxcodebase.c. The manipulation leads to allocation of resources. The attack must be carried out locally. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The identifier of the patch is 442e2299530138d8f874fd885c565ba98a6318ba. It is suggested to install a patch to address this issue.

GPAC is an open-source multimedia framework. In versions up to and including 26.02.0, a stack buffer overflow occurs during NHML file parsing in src/filters/dmxnhml.c. The value of the xmlHeaderEnd XML attribute is copied from att->value into szXmlHeaderEnd[1000] using strcpy() without any length validation. If the input exceeds 1000 bytes, it overwrites beyond the stack buffer boundary. Commit 9bd7137fded2db40de61a2cf3045812c8741ec52 patches the issue.
