CVE-2025-15668: Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GPAC
A vulnerability was identified in GPAC up to b40ce70f5. This issue affects the function sgpd_del_entry of the file src/isomedia/box_code_base.c of the component MP4Box. Such manipulation of the argument data leads to heap-based buffer overflow. Local access is required to approach this attack. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The name of the patch is f29f955f2a3b5e8e507caad3e52319f961bf37bf. It is advisable to implement a patch to correct this issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in GPAC up to commit b40ce70f5 involves a heap-based buffer overflow in the sgpd_del_entry function of the MP4Box component. The flaw arises from improper handling of argument data, which can lead to memory corruption on the heap. Exploitation requires local access and low privileges. A patch has been committed (f29f955f2a3b5e8e507caad3e52319f961bf37bf) to fix the issue. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 score of 4.8, reflecting medium severity with local attack vector and low complexity.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can result in a heap-based buffer overflow, potentially causing application crashes or arbitrary code execution under the privileges of the local user. Since local access is required and no user interaction is needed, the risk is limited to local attackers with some level of access. No known active exploitation in the wild has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
A patch identified by commit f29f955f2a3b5e8e507caad3e52319f961bf37bf is available and should be applied to remediate this vulnerability. Since the vendor advisory or official fix details are not explicitly provided, users should verify and apply the patch from the GPAC source repository or official channels. Until patched, restrict local access to trusted users only.
